when you’re young
isn’t hope an alternate reality
that everchanging picture
of the person you’d like to be?
at my age
I can say it’s just glue
to repair fractures
of a life lived
from an almost touchable
future of sunset happiness
hope is now for me
something whose sole goal
is to attach gratitude to
each day I’m still upright
each day I’ve fallen
and can still get up
every day that love
still pulls me apart
