But You Do Get to Have Beautiful Wings
Folder:
weeping heartbeats to be a tearbearer
means to grow horns
to protect yourself
from the evil things
or to show that you've
seen evil.
to be a tearbearer
means your eyes
will go crazy with despair
and ambiguity, because
the world is upside down
to be a tearbearer
means to give up all possessions
even of the faery kind
so that you can feel
only emotion
and nothing else
to be a tearbearer
means to ravage your hair
with your fingers
until it becomes dreaded
like all the souls
you see
to be a tearbearer
means you must bear
the largest tears
of all the creatures
of the universe
and never
your own
