A Book Of Questions

Carrie Newcomer

Do you put honey in your tea,
Do you let it cool gradually,
Do you feel the strange wash of time and memory?
Have you made peace with your worst day,
Ever kissed in a busy café?
Are there things you feel, but you still don't know how to say?

Brief as the light on wheels of hay,
All that you've kept or was given away.
Questions that come before dark, at the end of a day.

Did you lose a lover or friend,
Was there a story that just had to end,
Did you final learn what kept coming around again?
Did you work in a bookstore,
Are there things that you don't do anymore,
Ever watch an oncoming train or gathering storm?

Brief as the light on wheels of hay,
All that you've kept or was given away.
Questions that come before dark, at the end of a day.

Did you say yes, did you say no?
Was it true or just wasn't so?
Did you land hard or gracefully,
Was it not what you planned,
But right where you needed to be?

Have you ever made a grilled cheese,
Ever prayed down on your knees,
Did you ever love a place that you still had to leave?
Did you walk before you crawled,
Have a dog when you were small,
Did make it through but it was, such a close call?

Brief as the light on wheels of hay,
All that you've kept or was given away.
Questions that come before dark, at the end of a day.
