We Wonder

We wonder why we're here,
Why we're dying,
Why those we love
Smirk
At our long preparation.

We wonder why lemons go sour
In full spring yellow,
Why those we miss
Yawn
In their own Distance.

We wonder why kitties meow
A thousand ways,
Yet dogs bark the same
Bark
In distant backyards.

We wonder why we're here,
Why we're dying,
Why those we laugh with
Smile
At the shadow of our own best light.
