“Something Is Wrong”
Subtlety passive and elusive.
Unendingly quiet, unmistakably strong.
Almost like a hint or a whisper.
Something is wrong.
A soft note within a song,
An occupied shelf but something is gone.
Check three times but everything’s there.
Something is wrong.
Like a star is missing,
Up somewhere in the sky.
And you can’t point it out,
No matter how hard you try.
Like something so quiet,
Just at the edge of what you can hear.
Barely enough for a push or nudge,
All at once both far and near.
Subtlety passive and elusive.
Unendingly quiet, unmistakably strong.
Almost like a hint or a whisper.
Something is wrong.
