DOWN

August 30, 2025 Jeff Reed

Í am bórn stáring at a céiling póised overhéad

like a collíding plánet.  My lífe’s fúel is spént

swímming thróugh invísible fíelds 

of grávity reléntlessly préssing

the wéight of wórlds

dówn.

My smáll-boned béing

dáily bénch-presses ský,

as Í walk cásually dówn the stréet,

the whóle héavens plúmmeting fíre-tailed cómets,

my úpward gáze–Sísyphus púshing báck the stórm.
