hope

my heart explodes

with

incautious joy

 

at a trembling hand

in the darkness

 

savior or serpent?

discernment is futile

 

any water is good water

when you’re thirsty enough

 

my tongue is scorched earth

 

make it stop

make it rain

 

either cure is welcome

 

besides,  

 

hope has always been a better drug

than fear

There.
right. You have written one of the bes...No. The Best poem on this subject I have ever read. It takes my breath away with its power and presence. Like a smack around the head with a reality sap.
So if you'll excuse me, I'm going to think about Scarlett Johansen and a pot of strawberry yougurt. Only so much perfection I guy like me can take.
