questions to ask this world
... does the earth choose
the colours of the flowers?
...and why are the blue violets
so shy?
...are the siskins just gossiping
in the alder trees?
...how long does it take
for a cloud to gather water?
...why are there
no twin snowflakes?
...do the frogs still sing
in the abandoned pond?
...where
do dreams go?
...are there
dream graveyards somewhere?
...why do trees think
they have to hold up the sky?
...why is the willow tree
weeping?
...who will tie the ribbons
on the scapegoat?
...and why has hope
not left a forwarding address?
