And god handed Atlas his burden / and Atlas said.
But where can I put this down?
God laughed
AND ATLAS SAID, "I WANT TO SET MY BURDEN DOWN.
BUT WHAT ON THIS EARTH CAN HOLD IT"
I'VE FORGOTTEN EVERYTHING AGAIN EXCEPT FOR THE SUN / MY MIND IS AN OPEN DOOR MY EYES ARE OPEN DOORS WIDE FLUNG SHUT LIKE [THE TASTE OF ANGELS] BEING FLOODED WITH BLUE / THE LAST PART REMAINING OF A DESTROYED HOUSE IS THE DOORFRAME / I LEFT MY BODY AT THE DOOR AND IT WENT BACK HOME WITHOUT ME / IT DOESN'T WANT THIS BACK / WHAT A HEAVY BURDEN, TO KNOW THE TRUE COLOR OF THE SKY / MY HEART'S A HEAVY WEIGHT AND IT SPINS BENEATH ME / ATLAS WEPT / LET ME REST, HE BEGGED THE SKY. LET ME REST.
