One Tear

At the bend of the sun and the birth
of the night, the strangeness
of your lie caught in my throat

Upon my lap, where last you laid
your head, a tear came to rest

Elizabeth,
A perfect moment poetically; in reality a painful experience, and that one tear, one only, the haunting symbol of loss and regret.
