Deep inside
Deep inside my left ventricle
I hide my tear box
I know
I know that tears live in my eyes
But these are special tears that I stow away in safety
This box
This box opens mostly involuntarily -
Opening and closing to a command my ears do not hear
So quiet
So quiet is this box in its opening and closing
I sometimes forget it beats deep within me
Slowly emptying
Slowly emptying its insides inside me
My box steadily becomes more empty
This box
This box of tears- salty, stale
Is mine and mine only
