unbearable

have you ever lied down and wanted

some heaviness on top of you?

the most common form of this is love:

wanting the heaviness of another person.

but there are other uncommon forms too

like wanting an aquarium, or the titanic,

or even the whole world on top of you

such that you remain nothing more

than a layer of crush.

i'm feeling this feeling tonight

but as soon as i put into words

i begin to float

with the unbearable lightness of desire

under me like a hot-air balloon on fire.
