rest


from the ABC set ФФФФ Selected Poems: 1989 - 2009

Rest.

The fire burns
without much heat sometimes,
sometimes my soul
feels empty

The plow eats into
the earth sometimes,
sometimes your words
prepare me

Masters take the weight
of the mule sometimes,
sometimes my burden
seems light

Sometimes I wish
peace for the world,
right now I just want
rest in myself.
