Sweat

Sweat

Watching Watching Watching
Fascinated by the slow travels
Of a small bead of sweat.
Laboriously formed at stubbly
Hairline.  Baubles across
Furrowed brow growing
In size.  Pausing between
The eyes,
debating its Path.
Finally slipping
Through a crease
Sliding down the center.
Waiting Waiting Waiting
A large drop of sweat skims
Down the nose.  At long
Last, teetering on the brink.
Hanging by a granule of salt
Swaying just noticeably in
The glint of the light.
Falling Falling Falling
Splatting on the rug.
