can you hear
the sound of a mother’s tears or
the wail of a young wife left homeless
her husband newly dedicated to the ground?
can you hear
the stretch and strain of nations
as they attempt to birth themselves
raging against the darkness?
can you hear
the flap of wings not fully formed
desperately unable to fly
breathing thunder
in a silent roar?
have you listened?
can you hear?
