I’ve noticed empathy is like water
its vapor coalesces in clouds
which release and soak everything
that in time vanish without a trace
it can start as a steamy sigh
then turn as solid as a flood of tears
and threaten to drown a soul
now in need of its own
fast-acting sympathy
someone to pull the plug
maybe a little good news
a break in the clouds
the peek of a morning sun
