The BlueIris Semi-Nightly Poetry Break, 9/24/09
"The Pass"

Even in climes
without snow
one cannot go
foward sometimes.
Things test you.
You are part of
the Donners or
part of the rescue:
a muleteer in
earflaps; a
formerly hearty
Midwestern farmer
perhaps. Both
parties trapped
within sight
of the pass.

--Kay Ryan

3. Mine To Bear

The crosses,
I have borne,
have been my own,
and others
that people
forced upon me.

Some
have been light,
and the distance
short.

Some,
I must
still carry.

But,
I know
the heaviest ones.

Those
that bear me down the most;
I don't
have to bear
alone.
--Me
