The Workaholic

I want to get lost in the work

And feel the hurt of the Earth,

Shaping the mold the way I see fit

And lessening the lease I’m given,

My hands crack on gritted tools

That grip the castled edge

That work opposite metals

That don’t always win the battle 

 

I’m washed in it now

Where as you see me as practical

I’ve been practicing another way,

The way of the work,

Pressed routine 

And the dreams that follow

 

Piece by piece

I lose myself and who I was,

Casted dyes 

And the lies we tell


The little hours 

and the long exhales
