Tired

Tired
     the only horse
     in the trace
     full loaded wagon
     weight bearing full
     on tender shoulders.

Tired
     pulling each day
     alone forward into
     a distant scrubland
     of dusty rock.

Tired
     investing limited life,
     receiving unlimited nothing
     everlastingly in return.

Tired
     exhausted and spent
     drained of being

Tired
      crushed under deathly   

Tired
