Grief
Inward crying without tears
is more sincere than any tears
can be and much more painful,
since that's why the tears don't show:
they can't come out,
they are forever blocked
on their way out
and tapped instead into a pit
of bottomless despair like a black hole
of too much crying
filling an infinity
with woes unutterable
of the grievous powerlessness
against cruelty, injustice, tragedy
and everything that shouldn't happen
and which for that reason only
seems to happen.
What to do?
Continue crying
without tears
forever.
