You Catch My Tears and Keep Them in a Bottle
Again she cries alone
Tears fall like diamonds
Into the nothingness
Her heart lost, unknown
She cannot see
The veil that surrounds her
Tears of others also bent over, sobbing
Connecting the broken-ones in their alone-ness
And the great Other…
Catching
every
precious
drop
Nothing is lost or forgotten.
Work just finished, words just written…inspired by a song my friend Nina Astrom sang live 6 years ago (oh, and life…). Not much more to say except thank you for looking. Concetta x

Wow. Just wow. Love it. If it was my mosaic, there'd have to be a soup-bowl full of tears… Love how you did her hair… wish I could do the round edges so well. Kodos for this beautiful piece!
