Rock/Leaf

Some days I channel
Sisyphus and his boulder,
Pushing, once again.

Other days, squinting,
I spy flattened earth ahead -
The boulder will rest.

Face and limbs glisten -
Wet with sweat or wet with tears?
It does not matter.

Each drop of moisture
Feeds a tiny green leaflet:
Hope grows, despite all.
