Knows

Knows
The interior contours
Of the drop of rain,
The shapes of life
In the drop of blood,
The texture of salt
In the drop of ocean sea.

Knows
The echoes of hope
In the young girl’s tears,
The fear of desperation
In the young man’s sweat,
The taste of darkness
In the shriveled soul.

Knows
The hidden places,
The silent rooms,
The abandoned squares,
The vacant hallways,
The empty hearts.

Knows.
