Rib

"I am...
that solitary teardrop ---
....truth to light,
stagnant on frozen face,
showing that
rare trace of emotion,
all I need to know,
You are Man.

......................I am
abundant tears flooding spring ---
....fresh insight
clears innocent blindness,
uncovers
dejected erosion,
all I need to know,
You are child.

.....................I am
pruning thorns as you grow ---
....lonely fight
melting etched delusion,
then hover
expected devotion,
all needed to show,
I am Rib."
