Question #15: When do you cry?

9/16/2019

I cry when I am being honest about how I feel. 

Sometimes I tea-kettle: holding intense emotion in place
while it heats and heats and heats
until I'm blowing off steam  from every possible opening,
of which my mouth is apparently the biggest. 

Sometimes I make the space for tears to come out,
relieving the pressure, letting flow. 

Sometimes the tears make their own way out,
and I just let them, now, even if I'm out in public. 

I cry in pain, and fear, and exhaustion.
I cry in awe, and gratitude, and love. 
I cry in receipt of life's true requirements. 

I think crying helps keep me in real time;   
a way of settling tabs of attachment with the past,
and the future.
