Click here to hear the poet read his words:
teardrop
just a teardrop
I think
and I’ve seen you cry
before
quite often
then I realise that
this one is different
it touches me
it hurts me
is it because I see
the moonlight
sparkling
against your too pale cheek
or is it
that it is
so solitary
no
it’s just a teardrop
I think
and I’ve seen you cry
before
too often
