Sisyphus' wife (Free verse) by Bankrupt_Word_Clerk
You made it clear that
My ego is a donkey that is riding me
with feelings contaminated with
a tragic and swelling pride of
vision dimming to the point
I can't even see myself
through the layers of ego billowing
about me like pea soup fog in the Tule
basin north of Fresno.
and now
You stand there wishing that
I would color myself
disappeared, yet I remain
in front of you, gloriously
wide and grinning the toothy
grin of a man that is either
nauseous
or
unconscious
You dress yourself today in the victim's
jewelry peeking through your fingers to see
if I am tryingto guess which side
of the bitches brew you are on.
