a moment

a rocket
a bullet
a sickness
a storm

a playground
a bed
a school
a street

a siren
a phone call
a knock
a pause

a hospital
a church
a cemetery
a stone

why
where
help
never

a breath
a sigh
a moan
a wail

sobbing
yelling
pleading

waiting

a prayer
a song
a poem
a friend

a whisper
a presence
a taste
a movement

a sunrise
a baby’s cry
a bird
a smile

a liturgy
a creed
a blessing
a moment
