Lacrima
                     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
