When Tears Run Out Poem by Alexandre Nodopaka

When Tears Run Out



What do you do
is a short line from watching bits
of newly found movie clips
dating to WWII.
The clips, as short as one minute,

were not used nor ever shown
since they didn't have
sufficient content.
Well, these words above issued
from a field nurse responsible

to have all surgical utensils and
gauzes washed and cleaned
despite overhead bombing raids.
And then the film went blank.
Dead silence.
