I Cry Poem by Irma Goo

My eye is lined
As red and as pink
As the inner eye
That you find
On the brink
Of my thigh


My eye is loose
As wet and as strong
As the lakes
Fluid as
Rivers and ponds


Life goes on


My lip is shaking
Like
Tremors
Signifying
The earth
This body
Is breaking


My throat is stuck

Silence abrupt


Enough


I can't speak
This heat
from within
Has harassed and beat
I erupt
Like the volcano brim


Enough




Life goes on
