Poetry

lacrimae rerum
 
let it
peep between the
lashes of your lid for
the briefest of moments but don't
hold it
 
back but
let it let it
brim over the edge down
the precipice that is your now
pale cheek
 
taste it
as it slides through
your trembling parted lips taste
the bitter saltiness of your
deep loss
 
let it
herald the start
the endless cascade of
grief after the numb denial
has gone
 
he was
you are
let what you shed
link you//
 
renato
