Just now, two moments from now
My red eye shut out a drop of sea.

One salty teardrop.

I hadn't cried for over four months when I needed my tears the most.
And so
Just now, two moments from now
I wrote a letter and that one drop ran quietly but fast down my one sad, emotional cheek.

For all the time I hadn't cried I was convinced
"to cry will be the only relief"
And so
Just now, two moments from now I realized:
Life doesn't work that way.
