Man at work, 2021 [300]
Man at work, 2021

We are tired —
months, years, centuries
of tired.
We peek out
not knowing whether it's safe today,
praying that it'll be safe someday.
But when?
There are no answers to when wars end.
They stop for a brief moment,
perhaps for months, maybe for years,
seldom for centuries.
Interludes restore our hope for peace —
then shatter the calm
as wars start again.
Is it safe to come out?
Is it safe, my friend?

         peeking out
         of a manhole cover — rejoining
         the world
