in the body’s dissolution
when water can no longer sustain
will you miss your tears
they arrived as heralds
for your sorrows, for your joys
for your angers and frustrations
and signified that you lived
salted as the primordial sea
their sting and burn called you back
back to ancient beginnings
back to your original self
back to your corporeal moment
when your time of dying arrives
and the stage of dryness occurs
let all these go
relax in assurance
they are never lost forever
but join in the vast illimitable flow
