The single tear

323 17 7
                                    

A single drop falls off the edge
Sending a thousand ripples
Through the vast reflection below
A single drop falls off the edge
Leasing the pain deep inside
Tracing the path to the face frozen forever in the frame below

A single curve of a silvery moon
Shimmers through a flimsy sheen of a rainy sky
A single curve of the lips on that face
Warms and wrenches and sets off another drop falling off the curling edges

A single scene of the crimson sky
Sets with a setting sun
The single name behind a million memories
Over the single sigh of loss
A thousand unspoken words in
A single tear
And another and another
