Leaking

By Dani

This moisture it appears
A liquid slightly salty in taste
translucent and without haze

Sometimes it’s a trickle
Rarely it’s a river
Often it just pools

But right now
while the source stews
It’s filled with a longing

It collects near its ducts
Swashing down and around
A sniffle it’ll cause

This face is leaking
Another tissue dabbing
It’s all part of the healing
