Without Tears Poem by RIC BASTASA

Without Tears

Rating: 4.5


the way i take an onion
is no longer the way my old hands do it.

there is a new technique which i have developed
after years of practice

how to slice it half and not peel it
how to think that unlike us it has no heart at all

and with the sharp knife that i have whetted for years
wasting so much water under that bridge

i have done it without anymore shedding
any drop of tears.
