A Heavy Rung

Self conscious gnomes 
pull down my heavy shades.
Close them loosely,
as the light blanket
of a child's dreams.

Lay back against the pain.
Surreal thumps 
that drastically grasp
the inner gears
of my working being.

Lay patiently.
It will pass.
The heavy footstep
I implant on the nineteenth
rung of the wooden ladder,
causes the step 
to sing with strain.

Such a ladder 
that lays strewn 
across the green dancing grass
that is my other side.
Patience, It shall pass.
