The Best Of Sadness Poem by Lazarus Knix

The Best Of Sadness



I am a storm drain
Upon the curb
Of your heart.

When you’re releasing
Soft tears of sorrow,
I am a welcoming jaw,
A deep open throat-
Prepared to carry
The rain away.

One gray morning,
If you could
Fold a small
Paper boat-
And send
Him sailing
Down the street
Into my metal
Teeth-
I would know
That you
Still make the
Best of sadness.
