#NPM22 – The Intimacy of Crying Alone When You’re Sad

The Intimacy of Crying Alone When You’re Sad

the body afflicted, undoing – shaking
out sorrow
long veins of pain peeling
off the heart
internal hemorrhage abundance

tears like song chorus – redundant
rhinorrhea release – a bath of
rebalance
the exaltation of
animal sounds

the liturgy of sobbing
sadness on her knees,
rubbing your back
