Teardrop

Seeing the surface

Curving as the forces fight

Revealing their form

You like the tension

But what of a solution

Chemicals and salt?

Emotion made real

The brain's direct distilling

Art in liquid form

But much like the ant

What human would understand

What we've made so clear?

So we empathize

With the torrent in the drop

In whole, without parts

We let slip beneath

Our teardrop's complexity

An agreement made

The river and sea

Each drop will hang differently

And so will each tear

So the lines are drawn

For it is composition

That gives water weight
