How To Weep

as river, allow
level to assert
itself and then
follow the tumble. 

as seep, settle
into the shimmer
and sing inside
the slowest notes.

as wail, scrape
inside for last moisture,
spare ocean, water-
spout.  release.

if inside, find the leaky
seam.  break
down.  try to hold it closed.
fail. try. fail.  turn to river.
