When I cry I watch my tears dropp onto my glasses
Cool streaks of salt water leave burning paths upon my cheeks
My nose begins to leak and I sound all the more pathetic
when I snivel in vain to hold in my body's humiliating release
...
Stand up!
Close your hands
Bend your elbows til your fists are level with your shoulders
Pump one arm up and pull the other down
...
(And so I chose
you say)
And so you chose
to kill off the life blossoming in your body
...
Rumble, oh my soul, and ease your tension.
Smooth the surface of your troubled waters.
Bleed, dear heart, into your little valleys.
...
