Poetry by Ariana Tyler

A list of thoughts, beginning with the fact that tears and sweat

taste the same.

And the wondering if there is

any reason sweat is considered

the product of hard work and tears the product

of weakness.

Ending swiftly

with the thought that

in any case

perhaps they serve the same purpose:

to relieve us, and cool us down

and provide a physical way

to express our struggle

and to evaporate our pain.
