special thanks
Zinnia held her frail tears on the last day of the month as hard as she could
Zinnia didnt expect those frail tears to roll down her doleful face
Zinnia cried while her thoughts were translated by the keyboard
Zinnia cried while the running water spattered on her head
Zinnia cried while she stared into the mirror
Zinnia cried while the toothbrush went left and right
Zinnia cried while she lay on the cold bed
Zinnia cried while she dreamt , a heartrending dream
Zinnia cried while her round face held a fading smile
Zinnia cried again , each time with more grief
Zinnia's heart then cried , which might actually be the first to feel the prodding pain before Zinnia's mind
Zinnia cried because she was afraid
Zinnia cried because she was worried
Zinnia cried because she was confused
Zinnia cried because she was distressed
Zinnia cried because she comprehend clearly - clearly comprehend
Zinnia knew the answer was evidently there - there evidently , forever , she knew and it was the first day of the month
