Lacrimae Rerum
There are tears in things.
Giving shape
To the fathoms we could not speak
Forming w o r d s out of figure and ground
Exhalation weighted by stones, rounding
Giving shape
to a brimming well
all that you hold dear
speaking together
at the table
we witnessed the shape of { } arise between words
shapes of self-story and memory greater than words spoken aloud
Giving shape
To the tears in things
