I am full of hope

anticipation

and wine

but curling on the edge like a burnt napkin

 

despair, dread, the memories

of failure

what a cold bunch of phrases and yet

that's what it feels like

 

 

I'm not drifting away tonight

just typing

and I'll go to bed accepting

knowing when I wake up

a new day will be there

radiantly reminding me of this possibility

another reason to desire things.

 

the inevitable pattern is a blessing and a

conundrum

We look back on the whole lot

but i doubt that this is the end of suffering

maybe resolution will crown our lonely heads

one day

maybe strangers will greet us in the morning

and know who we are

 

I doubt anything in this world will change twice

if anything were to happen

it would overwhelm the mind

 

this mad quest of life
