Transparency

As water splashing bone,
her lucid shrug, wry smile, quirk of brow
washes substrate of words.

You might start to laugh,
until a sudden droplet in her eye
called shimmering from some instant passed.

"I cry when I get angry,"
she said, once, confirming:
even the clearest stream must bend the light.
