Tears Smear
It bleeds
Slightly.
The pigment
Fills the cracks
In the corner of my eyes.
I put it on to divert
From the cracks.
I see my reflection.
I see
The cracks.
I cry.
My tears smear.
The pigment,
Fills
The cracks
Like the waves of the ocean
Wedging their way between
The rugged rocks.
Visible.
The wing disappears.
How does the Crow feel?
Does he know I hate his feet?
I cry.
I see
The cracks.
I realize.
I can cry
I can laugh
A smile.
Many smiles.
The cause
for the cracks.
