that unwanted invasion
– now tethered over my back
binding my knees
burdening my shoulders
with the heaviness
which is my own being –
my own cosmic orb of flames
arcing slowly across
from dawn until dusk
and smoldering on
through shadowland.
– now anchored still
tugging below my ribs
pulling inside my left eye
centering my own gaze
on then –
on it.
