THE LOOKING GLASS

Tear Stains

On a night
the moon wept
salty globules
soaked our cheeks.
Eons passed,
the last globule dried out—
nothing but brown stains
left in our heart;
tiny dots on the pillow
shouting for remembrance
of a night not completely forgotten
when the lamb, tied, was killed.
Blood painted the mountains red
and the moon just stood and wept.
