heavy mountains

heavy mountains
I know you well. 
I know you will 
sit there unsold, 
unspelled, unwell, 
or well. Just as
you are.

I came
out here to put
the stars behind 
your heads

I came out here 
because it does. 

I came out 'cause 
you called me blue, 
and so I was 
because of you. 

I came out here 
to lift you up,
because such heaviness
is tough 
sometimes 
to bear.

I came out here 
because
you're

there.
