Sisyphus


by Adam Sifre



I build pedestals.

It's hard work

Held together by sweat, love, and lofty thoughts -

   an unsound foundation.


The tiniest bit of heartbreak,

and it comes crashing down.

 

Always, I blame the builder and not the vandal.

    The next one will be taller. Stronger.

It's exhausting work.
