Naut

More than one way to read this ... the tears are the unwanted houseguests?

Naut

If they are not related any closer than sisters and brothers tell them they misunderstood. You are not receiving and will not be for a few more years. If they do not understand start their car and take out their luggage. If they are termites, curse them profusely then call the bug man.

Tears come unbidden

Reminding me of real life

Sweet kiss, salty tears

This is actually a damn good haiku!

That conjures up all kinds of potential.

I know it isn't funny, but I can't help laughing,
because I'm picturing you hiding out in your den...
or something...
waiting for a reprieve--
or gritting your teeth
while you entertain with feigned gusto.
