a littlepoem about Tears


from the ABC set whimsy

Hormone bullets leap over the trenches
of eyelids - "Run!...Run!"
Protein packed pearl droplets
pour down gravity's path
into arms
where they come to rest,
held by a cheek, a lot of lip, a fibre -
may they roll and fall
by the bucket full
-Splish-
-Splash-
-Splosh-
Bravo tears -Bravo!
Spill the contents of what you have seen.
Wash these tired eyes clean!
