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 erosion's cries cause
make whiskers prematurely sprout in men
and in women,
homogenize complexion,
diluting pigment,
till the whole face is washed
with a slight mascara tint.
Your face never forgets a cry
like trace remnants of acid in your spine.
