HOPE THE HERO-- TODAY AT LEAST

HOPE 

THE EMPTY NOOSE 

TEMPTATION HIDING IN THE DARKNESS

BEYOND REACH BUT WITHIN A SPLASH OF SHAPE

HOPE

EACH ECHO CARESSED WITHOUT SEARCHING WORD

EVICTED BY WRITTEN COMPASSION

HOPE

YOU WATCH, 

MYTHICAL SPELLS YOU VOMIT 

AND AGE CREASES TIME

HOPE

DAYLIGHT SPREADS AND GENTLE IT TOUCHS

A LIGHT LEFT OVER FROM THE NIGHTS DREAMING CURSE

HOPE

WHITE DUSTY PILLS 

SPILL FROM THERE PLASTIC CELLS

FINGERS FLICK AND GATHER INTO TINY PYRAMIDS

THOUGHTS-DECISIONS- LOSS AND GAIN

HOPE

THE PIN IN DAYS GRENADE

A RAINBOW OVER CEMETERY SKIES

BAITED HOOK 

BUT THE PILLS WITH THERE GLASS SMOOTH SURFACE

BEG THE LARGE FINGERS TO PLUNGE INTO HADES

HOPE 

HOPE

AND HOPE AGAIN
