Sitting bones-
seek comfort
relief.
Sitting knowing-
questions
never
to be answered.
Questions-
repeatedly asked
anyway.
Salty, salty tears-
stain plump,
pink cheeks.
Streaking, streaking-
the past runs away
in the heat.
Trickling-
to the chin
of the future.
Toward the heart-
carving the story,
eternally etched.
Details-
cemented
in the scars.
Sitting bones-
sit.
