Cactii Don’t Have Shoulders to Cry On

You will want 
to cry aloud 
for your mistakes, 
to scream your sorrow 
at the still dark sun, 
but the world doesn’t need 
any more of that sound. 

Listen, can’t you hear the 
cacophony? 

But if you must, 
when your lips are 
bloodied from the biting, 
and you can no longer 
swallow the sting, 
go by yourself 
into the desert. 

Find the place where 
rocks and water weave 
across the barren soil, 
and drip with despair 
until you are dry once more.
