Favorite Quote:
“I know you’ve heard it a thousand times before. But it’s true–hard work pays off. If you want to be good, you have to practice, practice, practice. If you don’t love something, then don’t do it.” - Ray Bradbury


                     Wet
              All’s that it is.
            Lucid and steely.
         Tearing, yet obscure
     A fragment of such weight.
 Heavy, pounding, chest-downer.
It is falling, and falling, and fallen.
An epochal memory consecrated.
         Here comes another,
           Down and down.
                    Wet


The author's comments:

Tears are composed mostly of water, but also dissolved salts, oils, and other particulate matter. They are small and light. Yet, for a person, they can carry immense weight and dark as midnight.
