A Case for Hope

nothing too fine, too hot
to grab, snatch at
hands suddenly grow
coat of stone, metal, 
only one light in the eye

microscopic hope,
burnt, so be it

- Des, 9 Aug 22.

I want to say, "I am fine, I am fine." till I believe it. I have no idea how long it will take. A lifetime? So at the end, it does not matter, I guess. There is no present, only hope, which is for the future to bear. And speaking of the future, it is a path that you can only imagine to be full of twists and turns. It is real, yet unknown; these scare me. You may think it is a convenient, easy way out to place hope, be it how little, on the future. But what else can we look forward to?
