Knock, knock, knock!!
The sound was loud but uncertain
Hello! Is anyone there?
The voice seemed strong yet distant
Yet, it did not keep still.
The voice started rising,
Decibel by decibel:
Kept on pounding and shouting,
Till the landlord could,
No longer hide his shadow,
He felt his peeking neighbors
Their piercing eyes borne on him:
Their questions and excitement-
His shame and unworthiness.
No way, else to open the door.
Opened the door, and
Out came those drops,
Tumbling from her cheeks
To her lips and lost forever.
