I
don’t know if I’ll get there
and
not sure if I’ll go,
but hope
has to be somewhere
the prophet told me so.
If and when
(the carrot and the stick )
I do
will you
be there before me?
private questions with no answers
dance across my tiring eyes,
more sure of this
the kiss brings life
to marble
statues.
