Tears

I'll
                                                                                     flood my       stone
                                                                                  pallet,                  strike my
                                                                        last nerve                         to crumble
                                                            Oh! How I wish                             the winds would          
                                                   change and know                                   my name today.
                                                But, alas, the ducts                                      are flooded salt once
                                           again in weak spring                                          deliberations and breath.
                                           I'll never freeze them                                          silver at this rate... Perhaps,
                                             I shouldn't worry so                                           and cry cathartic tears on whims
                                                  without a modest                                         upward glance to see who caught
                                                      my whimpers yet                                      again...  After all, rinsing the eyes
                                                               of woe once                                or twice in a chain of depressing
                                                                             events                       shouldn't make one weak, it should
                                                                                 make them sensitive, in touch with who they really
                                                                                        are, even if the wind refuses them...
