Entreaty for Tears

Blink to make more tears
because water will not make 
tears for water, nor pull 
brine from a stone. Spring 
melt and rain, fresh and salt 
water. What rises from 
and what sinks to the bottom, 
what rapid swirl disappearing 
into a point. Collect a debt
that was written in water. 
Collect a debt into a point.
What rapid swirl disappearing,
and what sinks to the bottom.
Water and what rises from
melt and rain, fresh and salt.
Brine from a stone. No spring
tears for water. Nor pull.
Water will not make.
Blink to make more tears.
