think of the stars—
and the way they cry
it’s a beautiful tangled mess
that no one


can really describe
wailing


for loss
exquisite tears—


glossy pearls—
but if they’re tears of the future
and the past
[they’re really no different form the other—


time is time]
there may as well be hope
in these tears


[think of the future]
hope: (noun) desire accompanied by expectation of or belief in


fulfillment
[yes, you will get out: it will be fulfilled]

…hope.
