Hope

An Ever-present Danger

By Gerard DiLeoPublished 3 years ago • Updated 3 years ago • 1 min read

Hope internal is

Hope denied

Hope unsaid is

Hope aside

***

Hope-you-get is

Hope as yet

Hope-you-don't is

Hope beset

***

Hope is circular rapidity

A promise ring so fine

A prayer for serendipity

Strangles a finger at a time
