Watching Sadness

it begins
with a
big swirl
in my heart
gaining momentum
as it spirals
down to connect
with the navel,
sucking up
my insides -
a Finger of God,
drawing its path
into my eyes,
where it explodes
unto its
watery end.
and then....
Silence.
Calm.
Bare.
to start
another story,
to draw
another path,
again.
Always.
