The Valley of Tears

by Vikki Owens

It takes time to cross through shadows,
and shadows stick
and move with you, even when you've crossed beyond them.
Looking up, your eyes remain covered with film
and you see life through blurry
vaseline and soot.
Walking through the Valley of Tears
is the only way to wash the shadows from your eyes
and pull your world into focus.
