Poem-A-Thon: Day 23 of 30

day 23/a poem made up of only questions

DO YOU?

Hey lizard, in the sun, do you care about the flowers,
the honeysuckles swooning in the late day hours?

Hey hummingbird, drinking, do you care about the cars
racing down the noisy street to the hipster bars?

Hey butterfly, en route, do you care about the train
moving faster than you can with its own pre-destined lane?

Hey there red-tailed hawk, do you care that I can’t fly,
as you sit there on that pine tree so close to the sky?

Hey mourning dove, I hear you, do you care that I mourn too,
as you sing softly in the morning and remind me of the moon?

Day 23 of TIFERET JOURNAL's 2018 April Poem-A-Thon (a poem a day for the entire month of April).
