Weight of the World

Do you think Atlas floated when the world at last fell away from his fingers?

Maybe he suddenly felt as weightless as the lightening sky above him.

He might have sunk to his knees and the earth would have trembled like his shaking shoulders.

Or…

Just perhaps,

Days later the Titan would be sitting alone in the world he had protected,

And realize that the breeze carried with it a sigh of relief.
