Heavy Light
9th May 2024

There is nothing more heavy, or more light,
a paradox within which I am lost,
know not myself, or my actions,
it seeps in uninvited,
takes hold,
colours the world in hues of its own choosing.

Its undeclared wonts hold me as servant and slave,
the efforts with which I struggle and overcome,
cut roughly,
bring pain,
rob joy once bought,

...leave nothing, the same,
ironically, an unfeeling, uncaring game...

Supermarket fish,
Tokyo, Japan.
