What Would Husserl Say?
A phenomenological flash poem

by Melva Steinberg

Once,
When we were young
The full moon floated over the mountain peaks for days
Rainbows arched the sky for as long as we desired
Even the summer rain came to unite with our tears

Now,
We see a world filled with war and pestilence
The clouds won't bring rain, no matter how loud we cry
Each day, we make our pact with peace
But the killing goes on
What would Husserl say now?
