A glass,

Half full,

Balanced in my palm

Featherlight and small.


Standing, frozen.

The glass commences

To weigh more

And more.


A thought of this

Crystal pricks

Needles

In my forearm.


Soon,

It is too heavy

For me,

Like a boulder

On thin ice.


The pain is unbearable.

My arm trembles,

Shaking,


And the glass

Drops

And shatters.


As soon as

I feel ease,

I try to step forward

When I step on

The broken glass.
