HOPE

Everyone dreams.
Some get lost or washed away
By what life lays before us
Or what we manifest ourselves
In this glorious, terrible struggle
From which no one can escape.
And as the dead lay fallen
Invisible beneath our feet
We wonder why we still stand
Here
Thanking Pandora
For the singular thing
Left for us
In her vacant, hollow box.
