Noun-ness

by Xavier - Cancer

Sadness is a Thing.
Not a Place as 409 somewhere, a cul-de-sac, or lane.
A Thing.
Bigger or smaller than a Bread Box, or not.
That black Shoe, this material Cup, and rightly so.
A Thing.
A crooked Vein to the Heart, any geometric Thing
is sadness.
Sadness is a Place.
Not a Thing as leather belt, paper clip, or rain.
A Place.
Somewhat silent, or simply humid, or not.
That Dressed-Grass Hill, this Blue-Green Sea and justly so.
A Place.
A South or North from the soul, any Air-Filled Place
is sadness.
Sadness is a Person.
Not any one thing, nor place 
as: black shoe, or blue-green sea.
A Person.
Who gives without taking.
Who takes without knowing, or not.
That Lynn of the Thought,
this Ed of the Heart, and sadly so.
A Person.
A Swollen Shadow whose any Person you can Fold
is sadness.
