The Tear-Shedder
A stump of a tree trunk—
Thus looks a man.
With no crown, tears pour forth
Like blood that spills from a severed vein.
A stump of a tree trunk—
Leaves tremble beneath the weight of tears.
And the sun has risen, and rises, and shall rise,
While drops dissipate and evaporate each day.
A tree trunk etched upon—
Its roots run deep within my memory.
They suckle the groundwaters from the abyss,
And I shall shed tears each day.
