Feel

Emotions are stopped up

To be released

One day

Far from now

In a rush of pounding grief

Or a wash of joy

Euphoria or duress

Time and time again there is none,

No time

No time for tears

No time to cry

No time to feel

Why, please ask

Take me to task for what

For what I have done

For what has happened

Or what will

Do you understand my emotion

Or express your own

Have you ever

Woken weeping

Face slick with salty water

Dripping warm from your eyes

Lashes cling together

Bound with this aqua vitae

This expression of life
