My Black Tears

My black tears
Can’t turn into pearls
Dark may turn light
If it emits some rays.

My cheeks cracks are dark
Of tears like tar
Can be removed—
By kind spiritual sparks.

My black tears
Can’t round my face
With a happy frame—
Mirror reflection seems sad.

The earth’s people
Live like beasts on the flats
No one can cover them
Other than jets of sands!
