He waits for
A moment
He waits for
An understanding
He knows
Or at least pretends
Why
How can it be undone
Why not
Randomly he exists
Maybe
He weeps
Why
Does he mourn
Why not
How does he know what to grieve
When to carry on
How to live
———————————————————
Now
Yesterday
Tomorrow
Never again
Never before
Never
Has he ever experienced
Meaning, purpose, joy, love
Yes.
They have departed
Along with his precious
Daughter
Daughter
He shakes
He grieves
alone
alone
