Flippancy

do people know it every time
they tear holes in someone else’s soul?
do they feel the pain they’ve made
by flippant comments, raging torrents
watched another’s face digest contempt?
can they see what it did fifty years ahead
the missing smiles, the tears in bed
moments of peace twisted by
echoes of something they probably
forgot they ever said?
