Grief

Ancient legend states
“When a just person dies
God cries two tears
And they reverberate
throughout the
universe.”

If this is so--
do you comprehend
why the oceans
are encroaching . . .

After Auschwitz
Buchenwald
Dachau

And now Darfur?

Your analogy reaches forever and sounds as loud as a teardrop, exactly. This is a magical poem.
