And so a tear is like
a fear liquefied
into tangibility.
A potent potable
with the ability
to meld fragilities
into rhyme,
Where they can belong
to a greater structure -
a song of meaning,
a cluster
disassembled
for salt-water cleaning
and reconstructed
into itself,
but bigger.
Somber lights
advise the avenues
to never move,
to stay receptors
to their luminescence,
so their shine
may never come unglued
and aimless
lest they expose
the root of roots,
the reason for their cries.
Cause the blaze of white
might all go out
at that point,
and someone's gonna die.
