Dry-eyed
Your love has left me
Visibly parched and cracked up
Like the legacy
That water leaves when drought strikes
A land that was unprepared.
Boiling emotions
Salted to your taste,
This condiment can surprise
Even master chefs.
Beware!
It is mislabelled:
Universal Solution
To Confrontation,
By misogynistic fools.
You’ll drown in these waterworks.


These are great, Sam.i really love “Beware”. I just love the words you chose in that poem.
