weight: earth eyes, and she said all weight is
strain, pressure demands equal and opposite force from what is pressed upon,
below. cringing under trees, in caves,
crying for Atlas burden of all atoms, alive, gravity law not of attraction but
of crushing pain, for matter world wailing with compression, mineral sentience,
ground to darkest coal, scorch of magma misery, glacier cut, river carved,
cataracts. buildings, towers, stabbing with stability, yearning to fall apart,
driven weight, unfair integrity of steel, stone cairns stacked in living
death. trees struggling to hold arms in
air, bridges designed for torture of themselves, tension with metal, cables. All construction begging bomb’s release.
