A PLACE TO CRY

something is confined in me
can I get from life a release?
maybe a place to efface my mind
and allow the flow of tears

I need a place to cry
city whose fences are not dry
a community whose king is a wailer
and criers are its settlers

let's say a lonely planet
where my voice will not be heard
that I will design with drops of tears
and the spirits will commune silently

I need a place to lament
a shrine to make divination of tears
and a moment to recite dirges
to tell GOD what I am passing through
