Grief Eaters
by Max BouilletPudgy little demons
suck on the corner
of her eyes
and feed on the tears
her soul refused
to let flow.
Soon,
they will gorge
themselves
and fall
back into hell.
They become
moist tidbits
for thirsty masters
that have long since
forgotten the
necessity of sorrow. 12/02/2006 Posted on 12/02/2006

| Posted by Quentin S Clingerman on 12/03/06 at 02:27 PM Your wonderfully unique way of saying sorrow must have its day! Grief is a good thing. A catharsis unless it becomes chronic. |
| Posted by Katerina T Nix on 12/05/06 at 09:51 PM I really, really, really enjoyed this piece, Max. Well done. The differing views on grief amaze me frequently. Some believe that holding back tears is wrong, others think that tears are weak.... I just cry if I need to cry.... unless I am so angry that I don't want to give someone the satisfaction of seeing me cry! Anyway, Great read, well done -Kat :) |
