TEARS OF MARBLE
( for Ita, Danny, Junie and Brian )
the angel rests her head
against mine
uses my tears
to cry
for marble is unable
to bear such human pain
the sorrow within..welling
overwhelming the eyes
here lies buried all
I hold most dear
I weep for myself
that I
am left behind
this sadness
this greif
bereft of mind
and only now
can the angel cry
great big fat tears
of rain
sploshing upon my eyes
shut tight
yet still seeing
her soft shy carved smile
marble and human both
cry in vain
the heavens open
I drenched to the skin
Heaven refusing
to let me in
