Pleasure in Sorrow


Pleasure in Sorrow

The discordant sighs
Of a looming crowd
Gird the cacophony
Of a soul's drumming tears

They smell of salt
And taste of soap
The sting parching the heart;
The flavor scolding the tongue

Like insects
They continue to surround
The poor soul
Suppressed in his woe

Won't they help;
Subdue his rain?
No.
They watch with a buzzard's thousand eyes

Like a plague they feed,
Drinking the tears
To feel the burn,
Reveled they're not their own
