    Weighty is the stress
    Stress is a rock
    heavy and unyielding
    a solid blow she delivers
    to the spirit
    a stone’s voyage to river’s floor
    a mighty sledge
    cold and steely
    she pummels the soul
    and is to the mind
    a dream of lead balloons

    I insist that some of the best writers come out of Austin. Maybe because I started writing when I lived there. Ha ha. This is great and so very true

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
