Tear into me,
slit the viaducts
if you have to.
Sandbags under eyes
holding back
emotions.
Is a good cry
an oxymoron?
Fear to feel.
What if I drown?
Will the salt
keep me afloat?
Jesus wept,
this I know,
tear to tears.

Thanks, Jerry!
I believe that “a good cry” is NOT an oxymoron…and there can be times it’s therapeutic and can even be worshipful!
