exhaustion (upon watching Sylvia)
exhaustion is an egret
like lethargy is a sand crab
because this is what
weary poets do
unless like Sylvia
they seek certain sleep
poets & artists
feel life deeply
too deeply
pulling them
to jump in
sometimes for the dying
like a spindly-legged egret
hollow-boned & feathered
or a lethargic sand crab
unhinged by the tide
