The Tear

On hearing on old familiar song on the radio alarm clock

in the silent stillness, suspended time

before the morning light flows across

that darkened familiar screen...

that heavy motionless moment-stilled...

wondering where I am, thinking I am not ANYWHERE

I've been before...

then, I feel that old familiar twist of the

phantom's knife rip holes inside my chest...

the gossamer vice that tightens up- until

it explodes inside my head

and pushes, strains, out through my eyes,

a crystal trickle down my cheek

leaving behind

a glimmering snail's trail

of blessed relief.
