Each piece of armor
Off
Slow succession
Now
Schlepping backwards
Metal dragged
Behind me
This arduous task
Steel
Over the shoulder
Steel
Chest plate
Gauntlets
Why did I take this off?
The helmet
Particularly heavy
In this rain
Steel
Legs and feet
Not even polished
Old rusted armor
I stripped this tin
Thinking my heart
Would be okay
This time
Tossing the cage
To wind
Almost blowing away
Clanging of my dressing
Wakes the neighbors
Can't heartbreak
Ever be silent
