tasting the tears that run down the gutter two teeth make,
tears in route running a groove in your cheek.
waterfalls leave smooth rocks when the river dries up
you can determine where a river once was just by examining rocks.
your face never forgets a cry
like trace remnants of acid in your spine.
the erosions cries cause make whiskers prematurely sprout in men
and in women, homogenize complexion,
diluting pigment until the whole face is washed with a slight mascara tint.
your face never forgets a cry
like trace remnants of acid in your spine.
