Confronting Nothing (revised)
unknown

Standing still as
 1
the grass rushes on,
 2
ripples running fast and hard.  
 3
I wonder, where will it go?
 4
 
 
Even the wind must fail to fly.
 5
 
 
As slim stems bend
 6
I hear a whisper.
 7
echoing in memory
 8
it goes:
 9
 
 
Why, why, why.
 10
 
 
in wounded silence
 11
the question is real,
 12
my eyes search it —
 13
the blind man knows more —
 14
 
 
and I offer no reply.
 15
