The Lift

schwer sind die Berge, schwer sind die Meere.
Heavy the mountains, heavy are the seas. -Rilke

Raising up and off ground planked,

Exalting the body's abject weight;

Discontinuing rhythms cranked,

Breathing withdrawn, prostrate!

Rising, force-welling tears,

Stealing away glances supplant,

A ride, driving where, what falters?

Encouraging broken words, scant.
