A Mythical Jill
Current mood: tired
Category: Writing and Poetry

 

She fills the pail and scales

The dune to dump grains at the top

The demarcation can’t be seen

What she contributes looks so much like

Every other grain of sand

She descends the slope head over feet

A mythical Jill playing Sisyphus

She rises from the fall

She scoops again and up she goes

From the desert floor where there’s no water

To dump the gains at the top

The demarcation can’t be seen

What she contributes looks so much like

Every other grain of sand
