Old Memory Of The Pearls |

The day after she told me she was having another man's baby, I was awakened by pearls springing from my eyes and persistently rolling down my face. Truly tiny pearls; peering at the nearest mirror, I picked several of the larger ones, in wonder—and observed, almost as a scientist, their tender-slippery texture, between my fingers. They would, only, pop and liquify when I squeezed them too hard—down my face they persevered, by the dozens, and dozens, for twenty minutes or more—the smaller ones would simply melt before reaching my chin. I could not stop gazing at those pearls— "Hey, I must really love her for this to happen," at one point, I concluded. Patiently I oversaw the lustrous grieving subside; only then did I sit on a chair to pray. **** **** **** ..circa 2002..first Copyright 2002 Spiros Zafiris ..poem archived in several other sites |

What have you been eating that you should cry tears that are pearls of pain, born of knowing. Kethry Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |
