I want to cry
an actual river.
One that creates an
eco system
and attracts wild life
and nature lovers.
Make it just quick
and deep enough that
people can paddle down it
without too much strain.
They could call
it weeping willow river
and tell the fable
of the girl it’s based on.

One day,
a very sad woman
came here and
she sat so long and
cried so much
that she created a river
of tears.
No one really knows
what caused that kind
of pain,
and I don’t think
she did either.
