For Laurel, who held my hand while my father died.
"Cry" she said,
"It's good for you."
How can it be?
When it gives me a headache,
Swells my eyes,
Perverts my nose,
Blocks every channel
Inside of me,
Like a pressure cooker,
That can't let off steam.
"Cry" she said.
No, I want to calm down,
Damn tranquilizer has no effect.
My grief,
Is stronger,
Than any man-made drug.

"Cry" She Said
