What is Sadness? (A list)

1. It is the ache in your spine
2. It is the hollow of your ribs, when your lungs have vanished
3. It is the swell in your eyes, but not from tears
4. It is the stickiness of tears, finally falling
5. It is the blank blue of the late night
6. It is the clear grey of the early morning
7. It is the soft pulsing in your skull, not hurting but ever present
8. It is
9. It is
10. It always is
