Fred Chappell Quotes
The Tear On My Mother's Cheek Got Larger And Larger. It Detached From Her Face And Became A Shiny Globe, Widening Outward Like An Inflating Balloon. At First The Tear Floated In The Air Between Them, But As It Expanded It Took My Mother And Father Into Itself. I Saw Them Suspended, Separate But Beginning To Slowly Drift Towards One Another. Then My Mother Looked Past My Father's Shoulder, Looked Through The Bright Skin Of The Tear, At Me. The Tear Enlarged Until At Last, It Took Me In, Too. It Was Warm And Salt. As Soon As I Got Used To The Strange Light Inside The Tear, I Began To Swim Clumsily Towards My Parents.
