crying face

when one has been sad

for longer than they can recall

their body is not racked with spasms

and they do not cry out in the night

tearing at hair

biting at flesh

when the trigger of nostalgia is pulled

one shall sit with tears on cheeks

lips pressed together

in silence

no noise

only water

a canoe

facedown

in a waterfall of tears
