After Bombings, Then Return



Why could the world not stop
When a street is a shell?
Why could a hand not fall
When the ear is present at the birth of a sun?

My sister fell into ruin
My house was set on fire by the enemy

I walked outside my house
There was the earth

Back to the beginning,
A resounding step,
Back to a dreaded, familiar question.
