DRIED TEARS
Sometimes the salt in tears
sear the skin just around
the eyes or is it from the
rubbing with the side of
our hand - nature’s
tissue?
The phone rings. We hear
in our ear and then our tears
that she died from the overdose.
Or we hear in our ear that a
daughter’s marriage is breaking up
and “What about the kids? Yeah!
What about the kids? Is either
of them thinking about them?”
And what about the consequences
that cause more
pain and more
tears - many of which never dry up?”
Or does resurrection happen any more?
