They listen quietly,
no interruptions
- only polite.
Waiting, waiting
for the Molotov question,
as rhetorical as swearing,
“Why don’t you talk to me?”
They beat the flames with
“nothing to say”
-not quite shocked as the fire
burns their ears.
They wait.
Experienced enough
with conflagrations,
they do not mention
words laid flat
and inserted
edge first.
