Ironic Gratitude

Have you ever sat alone in your room
and silently produced 
  salty pools of agony for the first time in years?
Desperately devastated 
  at the reason behind them,
sincerely surprised 
  at your ability to excrete them,
ironically indebted
  to a moment that feels a sliver of something again,
graciously grateful
  even if salty tastes bitter, again?
