Lacrimosa

I cried today
again, today,
it's been a week
But here's the thing
Today I cried in words
in affection
in the overwhelming power
of creation
I cried in seeing the secret at the base of
these tales I tell
They are not an innocent play
in frivolity
They are me
trying to love me
and in so doing,
living a life

And maybe that is what all art is

We have such short time on earth
to make sense of it however
we can.
