I could hear them
Rolling down her cheeks
Dripping off her nose
And splashing upon the cold tiles
They were blinking in the light
A mournful Morse Code -
White flags of surrender
Clear droplets of hurt -
Expressing every word she could not utter
Voicing to God the battle
Which, alone,
She could not win
