Phaedra's Womb

a tear rose
to the sky
followed by
others alike
to form a
puffy white cloud

more and more
tears rose up
and soon the
cloud grew heavy
and dark

before long
the tears could
stay aloft
no longer
so they fell
as rain upon us

you and I
ran for cover
our faces
so wet with rain
we could
no longer
see our tears

         ...dedicated to the memory of our happy tears

Touch, but don't look

Neat getting back to the tears unseen.

Talk about a tear jerker, you had the tears going  every which way.  Seriously, this
is delightful.
