I ... entered the poem of life, whose purpose is ... simply to witness the beauties of the world, to discover the many forms that love can take. (Barabara Blackman in 'Glass After Glass')

After the Kill

Tears spill
from the eyes 
of the kind,
even those
not personally 
involved.
All over
the world
they spill
for all
that is over –
life –
stopped 
by the blind
hater.

don't 
cry – 
find
no tears 
left 
to spill.
I freeze,
still
hating 
guns.

Prompted by Quadrille 11: spill at dVerse.
Responding to the shootings in Orlando.
