"Tearful Morning"

This morning
After the usual conversation

The tear
Flows freely without obstruction
Bursts like a spring from every corner of this house

Excess tear
Slowly, slowly
The tear and I became one
Without freedom, I became a slave to the tear

The tear is silent
The conversation was taken over by the tear

Morning of September 23, 2011
