Green light suspends my structure Darkness then enters, pervasive, invasive Darkness without hostile motives No reason to ail my beautiful light It just happens So long aloft in arms of others Legs are shriveled, decorations, a show A show that cannot support the form Of the athlete the task demands Disappointment, Atlas failed Smooth and bare the corridor Opening into an expanse of cavern Rough on the edge, ravaged The Devil took a bite out of Earth Looking into the space, empty It is not what is taken It is the burden kindly given The freedom to inhale and exhale To be tossed by storms and make them The ability to succeed, or even fail Responsibility

The Gain of Loss
Green light suspends my structure Darkness then enters, pervasive, invasive Darkness without hostile motives No reason to ail my beautiful light It just happens So long aloft in arms of others Legs are shriveled, decorations, a show A show that cannot support the form Of the athlete the task demands Disappointment, Atlas failed Smooth and bare the corridor Opening into an expanse of cavern Rough on the edge, ravaged The Devil took a bite out of Earth Looking into the space, empty It is not what is taken It is the burden kindly given The freedom to inhale and exhale To be tossed by storms and make them The ability to succeed, or even fail Responsibility
