Tearing Up

Old tales of dead friends
She smashed into an icy killer tree, bled out
So no invitation to her grown up embryo’s wedding
Life, it keeps going

New tales of pancreatic cancer and 
Soon to be dead friends
A shared brita water purifier
The daily death watch reminder 

Current tales of anger
A screaming phone call
Drenched in unresolved fury
At his nearly dead mother

Some days the tears just drip
The silt backs up
Oozes out
Down grey cheeks
Leaving invisible salty trails
Nose runs
Eyes get gooey

And for what
