Sisyphus Rock


Under rolling rock of Sisyphus

The heart's already thousand pieces

Ground to dust


Of sharp glass snow

That cuts

If I should breathe your memory


In this cold hard season of the soul

A never-ending ending

To a once beginning


Were hubris and deception

In myopic vision

Just a touch of blear


Till accident or circumstance

On slippery road

Cracked the shield to wind.


A thousand pieces fell

Enough.

No.


Why I?

To shoulder

Relentless burden of your sins.
