Contemporary Atlas
February 1, 2023
Oh Gods release me—
A world of expectation
On these green shoulders.
Sweating down my neck
Searing acid, cool nectar
The gift of this work
Arms and legs waver
Toiling with no rest in sight
Grip threatens to slip
Shoulders harden slow
Expectations fatten fast
I serve my own call
