15,981. CARRYING YOUR HOOP SKIRT UPON MY SHOULDERS

CARRYING YOUR HOOP 
SKIRT UPON MY SHOULDERS
I don't know all these guy, nor remember what
they did : Hercules, Atlas, Thor, and Titan.
It doesn't really matter, as the superlatives 
outrank any of the words I know. My sauce
is in a lesser bowl.
-
Here I am and here I wander : twirling like
a dervish on the run. Capsules of energy,
all broken apart and backlit from the sky.
I no longer want a thing. Calliope leaves
before the sun-up arrives.
