'Weight' by Ben Walter | States of Poetry Tasmania - Series Two
by Ben Walter •
please settle me down in
the depths of the river,
scattered ash lodged
in the silt. let metal
tailings weigh, pulp
dissolve my pages
and the sparkling view
of sewage be interred;
do not let me drift out to sea.
Ben Walter
'Weight' first appeared as part of The Red Room Company's 'Disappearing' project.
