the gods
count
a woman's
tears
I've read that
God saves all
our tears in a bottle
but i confess i know not
what
He needs them for...
they seem a dreadful currency
with which to turn sorrow into dancing,
and a dubious apothecary
for wounded spirits--
and yet He finds them
precious
enough
to keep
against some unknown day
when their power
to soften hard hearts
may well soften our own
and save us yet
