Someone Else's Tears



For her age, not a single sign of wear and tear
Not even in the manner that she hurries down the road,
Leaving fine trails behind, on two sides
Trails she would never tarry to admire
One after the other, her never-ending shapeless body pours forth
Heralded by the everyday brushes with conflicts and contrasts:
A thoughtless word, a lice-infested action, a hushed pungent thoughts.

A little drop to each drop before that drop; merges
Forms and snakes downward
We only need to sight heron someone else's to make a huge swallow of spittle.
Her scents, although you couldn't put a taste name to,
curries us in.

Carried on the strong river currents of someone else's
By every notes and keystrokes
To every sense and sense buds, naked and sheathed
Hitting the spots spot on, cornering us.
Her pulses are hard and thorough
Enough to evoke same response: a thorough and hard pulse

Were you to attempt to soothe those of someone else's
She would ambush you into opening your own source for someone else's
For her hands reaches into your core, fondling it
Her legs sat tentacled somewhere between a shared grief
Her voice is bound in notes and chords not bound by any known notes and chords

She is water we hardly want to see flow, someone else's.
She is a river no one wants to put a paddle to
A river one only wants to dam; of blood and non-bloods
Those of now to travails of years that have aged on
Someone else's tears
Reminds us why we are humans,
make me human wash me clean.
