the hammer

heavy now the hammer falls
sledge to wedge
the clash carried by the canyon
tear the grain and fiber

heavy how the hammer falls
confined from the mind
in labor liberated from complexity
a body sacrificed, for sins. atoned.

heavy heart, the hammer falls
a pulse to the strikes
with the collision a fissure bore
glint in the contact, the source

heavy armed, the hammer falls
the tool extolled
steel head cracked and rounded
instrument and man, bent to the toil

heavy minded, the hammer falls
nigh peon and pontiff
sermon of silence in burdens throes
the sacrament, the chore

heavy now the hammer
