Does sound waves pass through
bellowing smoke?
Do sound travel faster
than a bullet?
Does volume affect the speed of sound?
Does tone?
Does urgency?
Does desperation?
Would my voice have
safe conduct
over these battlefields,
Across this war zone?
Could you still hear
these words
behind enemy lines?
Can you feel my love
drift past these
makeshift graves?
Can you still listen
when you're
six feet under?
