The tears of women fall against the soft earth as their feet
hardened by walking many paths
cross the stony earth to graveside
The tears of women are shed
for all the men who are taught
that tears are a sign of weakness
inferiority
Yet those same men
hold these women close
and treasure them
keeping all things in balance
And as the man could not allow himself to cry
over the body of his mother
while mourners watched on
his wife shed tears
as did the women around him
for him
And he let them
The tears of women heal
they split the heart
like scalpels
all in the same moment
And like all things of truth
the tears oif women
are sacred
and should never be shed
lightly
or without purpose
