Cry (Free verse) by Sunny
I do it for a happyâcry,
I do it
when I have to:
when the knot
under my chest bone
feels like it
will spew up my throat
and dollop â splat â
onto the floor,
my mouth still open
from the appearance
of this mysterious belly-knot
thatâs been rooted
behind my breasts.
I cry when
no conclusions
are made -
boney shuttering shoulders
and lonely back porch
to spill onto. My hands
are over my eyes,
holding them in,
face in sinâ¦red blotches
and runny eyeliner.
The mourning that bellows
from my lips,
rises uncontrolled in upward sifts,
as God
culls my rueful song waves upward
with weary sailor arms.
