Women are Boulders

Women are Boulders

Sisyphus:
damned to forever push a rock,
up a steep hill
only to have it always roll down the other side
his work never complete.

What compels him to carry on?

Is it pride?
or is it stupidity?
The want and will
knowing that for some reason
this task must be complete.

Or were we lied to in legends?

Perhaps the hill is different:
never ending,
a steep incline
that never ever stops-
will never be complete.

What compels him to carry on?

What be at the top?
What does he have to prove?
Maybe we are missing more of the picture;
lied to yet again;
the story never complete.

Women are boulders.
