Abacus Mind

An Interesting thing – you and I
we wash emotions like dirty cloths
and hang them inside to dry.

We wrap them in a towel
tightly wrung tissues of our soul
then we watch them drip.

These un-drying tortures
leaving tears between the eyes
sliding thoughts from side to side
on our abacus minds.

An Interesting thing – you and I
one bares the soul
to dry the cloths
while the other one runs
hoping the wind –
will dry the tears.
