Can we ever weep enough
for you? When we drive to work,
when we eat our lunch, when we fail to sleep
in the middle of the night,
is it mere indulgence that we shed
another thimbleful or so of tears
for you? We hear your voice,
read your texts, see you smile, then wait
for you to send us something else,
something new, even something we'd despise
or something we'd forget, but your response
is always less than silence. You will say,
"Weep, weep", and we'll follow
but to what end, you won't reveal.
