Drip, Drip, Drip

Drip, drip, drip.

Water spills

from the vase

to the table

onto the floor.

Drip, drip, drip.

Blood trickles

from the finger

to the wrist

onto the table.

Drip, drip, drip.

A petal falls

from the rose

to the lap

of the woman.

Drip, drip, drip.

A tear flows

down his face

to his beard

and disappears.
