The usefulness of tearsHorsepowered
One warm tear after another
Fell shocking me after I’d whispered my name aloud in some man’s voice I no longer know
Tears as heavy diamonds, flawless and innocent, from my right first then my left
Each with the viscosity needed to let love flow through this muscle-car I call my heart
This, coldest of winter’s night
June Will Be Okay
Deciding this morning whether
To be afraid for our weather
For this Earth
For its Underlings
I noticed triumph
Its and Theirs
I saw green, cold tears
Gladness!
There was little left to do
Open wide the window
Cry out
Three cheers for a cold victory!
Device
Have you
Being supine
Crying whatever type of tears
Feeling whatever storm from somewhere
Rolling tempestuous tears
Filling storm-struck ears
Being human
Have you
The Dark Side
I cried, how dare I!
I cried over cat food today
How it covered
Her nose and eyelashes
My hands and my vision
How it lingered
The way snowflakes might stay
Were we not dark princesses
Standing at the sink twice today
Cleaning her face and my heart
Hoping that tears and time
Will somehow free us
From the stench
From the mess and disaster
Of our love
Fair Weather, Friend
Oh!
I shall exhale
Pray for pouring rain as my forum
For there I will make such weeping
And I won’t want them to see
Yes!
There’ll be no taste of salt
But mere ozone and clarity
Fresh, cold clarity
And latitude
July 8, 2016: A Haiku
Experiencing
the Earth apart, does impart
permission for tears.
This Haiku: Art and Tears
What use are the words
I’ll offer silence with strength
And belief in you
Breath + Tears
A Great Lake
Beckoned
North West Wind
Suffer for my shores
Your best three storms
And ‘ere too long
I’ll offer up
In sacrifice
My mystic mist
And renew you
This Haiku: Yesterday In Yoga
It all flowed again
The asanas, the kindness
The sweat and the tears
