LACHRYMATORY

Others carry the wine, others carry the oil
in the hollow vault their partition circumscribed.
I, as a smaller measure, and as the slimmer, hollow myself
for a different need, for the sake of plummeting tears.

Wine grows richer, and oil grows ever clearer in the jug.
What happens with tears? - They made me heavy,
made me blinder and made me iridescent at the edge,
made me brittle finally and made me empty.

-R.M.R., Schoeneck,
