their names


written on stones
the hurt I have suffered
the weights I carry
chains on my heart
their names, situations
some long ago
a catalog, remembered
not letting go
falling, heavy
in detail, minutiae
upon my heart
wanting to let go
to give them to You
but picking them up again
carrying these stones with me
weights upon my heart
