Weight

Why not hang regrets off your face
like weights on little brass hooks
to pull down the corners of your mouth,
the skin around your eyes,
bigger ones for the failure of your arms
to hold the pain, fight the power
and a brick to pull your head down,
curve your body, too soon, toward the earth?
Then we would know what to do.
