There Will Be More Poem by RIC BASTASA

there will be more things
coming inside me
staying there
and day by day i carry more weight
perhaps something
that i can no longer carry
the furies of the uncertain world
they come too
inside my brain
there is no more love that my heart can carry

i will have some ankles broken
and i may be compelled
to kneel before them

there will be more loads to carry
do not think
that i am unbreakable

beyond the limit you will see me vomit
you may even see me
dissipate into air
with no telltales

of who i am and what i have finally become
