The weight
It’s a haunting
a heaviness
anchoring my heart
to abyssal depths
I do jumping jacks
I repeat affirmations
I meditate on the eternal
I stop scrolling the news
In moments of peace
in the quiet of peace
still the anvil of this
crushes me
Looking over my shoulder
this heaviness glares
inescapable
immutable
The weight
the awful weight
smothers and betrays
the best of us



Intense. Powerful. The good news is the Supreme Court finally sided with the constitution on tariffs. Perhaps he was late with his payment.
I feel this deeply. Well done, Nora.
