No, Man Never Cries

Artwork by George Hodan

No, man never cries
be a poet or counterfeit
unless when his throat dries

Inside, channeled path
only wet like riverbed
his soul and angst bath

Rarely men did really cry
them in times of Shakespeare
when lousy love was worth a try

By moonset, right after death
his other version disappear
scars stay on canvas of painter of life
