like the drip from a leaf
forms carefully
time and time again
building up and rising up
weighing its body down
and the leaf
will fall
just to pour one more
to collect water
to collect sorrow
and collect
once more
for it will rain
upon the mere ground
upon a mere cheek
caressing the ground
with one stroke.
