Dried Not Lied

Who hears the fishes when they cry? - Thoreau

no one sees dried tears

nevertheless they were cried

handkerchiefs don't lie

Author's Note

"Make the most of your regrets; never smother your sorrow, but tend and cherish it till it comes to have a separate and integral interest. To regret deeply is to live afresh." - Thoreau

I love your choice of music by Roy Orbison, Pete. . A truly beautiful song.. Well done you on another senryu. A very meaningful one too. Tears are rarely cried in public, but behind the scenes there are rivers.
