    Again, I have to say you use form superbly ~ leaving that least sequence hanging? Just perfect!

    ‘I hear echos of
    answers spun
    by grown-
    ups
    in
    books and
    bloody wars.’

    This poem starts so gently, making the impact of the unstated questions, being answered in books and by wars, so much greater.

    I love this, especially the ending. I heard a little story on NPR this morning about “I believe” essays and had been thinking about what I believe. (One example given was “I believe in punctuation.”)

    I believe your “And me? I only/believe in/the whys” is just about the perfect thing.
