Hugging the Turtle
Have you noticed
how men meet with
their hands, and women
meet with their hearts?
Either way the
warmth of the
human body is transmitted.
It does not
mean they are trustworthy,
or kind,
or willing to do that one
small thing that
will make all the difference
in someone's world;
Only that they are
of the same kind,
with the same pains,
and the same hopes,
and the same tears.
But does anyone know
if turtles cry?
