She brings me morning coffee and tissues
(Tissues, ostensibly a coaster)
for she knowing.

Poetry, 
I am writing,
needing then,
to wipe up 
the spilling 
tears.


PostScript:
Which of the mysteries within this poem 
need answers?
All or None.

WOW! Just wow, and a deep resonating 'thud' as these words find their home in my chest....

My daughter once said when she was about 7 "issues are like tissues when the box is done you just open up another one."

Some poems are so difficult that we write them not because we want to but because we have to.

A sentiment I know so well... the spilling tears that is...no -one mops my tears or soothes my fevered brow...I have to do so alone xx And I cry another bucketful! Get your boat out baby x LOL

Says so much about her...you are blessed.

Sadly, in my case, she is sometimes the paper upon which I write.

I admire this poem for people like me to understand, but has enough mysterious for my mind to wonder!  Great write Nat!

Personally none, because then you give audience to their device.  Our own creation of the mind is far greater than what author has to convey!

You can power your poems with melancholy and it has lots of horsepower but I tried it and it can make you sick. Learn this better and sooner than I did. Love your work.
