after great pain, what would the body learn that it does not already know of relief?

when that fire-truck has raged past, what do i rediscover about silence, except that i would always miss it?

do trees mind if it is the same wind that passes through their heads everyday?

after the mall is completed, must we remember the field it inhibits now where we chased each other as children?

if my lover fails to wake me up with a kiss a third time this week, do i worry?

after the earthquake, would it matter if no one saw two dogs from different families approach each other without suspicion, then move apart?

as the workers wash their faces hidden by helmets that beam back the sun, should they care about the new building behind them beyond the fear of it falling?

does solitude offer strength over time, or is denial of it the only practical aim?

if my mother cannot see how else to be happy, is it enough that she may lie in bed, convinced God watches her sleep?

after severe loss, what does the heart learn that it has not already understood about regret?

when all light finally forsakes a room, do we take the time to interrogate the dark, and to what end?

- i don't know why, i'm in love with poem/prose now. :D
