I can feel the weight that is contained within your bones
all packaged up and then delivered right into my home;
a heaviness that carries with you even when you go.
i feel it in my chest where i once thought there'd be a hole.

and i will carry with me all the weight that you have left
for it will be an anchor to the flight within my chest
and it will be the difference between us and all the rest;
when we can bear between us that which weights upon
our best contest.
i don't write many reaction pieces, but this would be one of them
