Hope
Back when Prometheus had kept you in his jar,
then let you out to watch you shooting like a star
and everybody there had wondered who you are.
I know, I know, I know.
For I had watched
you from the corner of the sky
Your spirit spinning through the orbits of my eye
and I could conjure you if only I could cry.
I know, I know, I know.
I saw your ghost
in this room
you were hovering cold in puddles of twilight
You stared through violent squares,
pulsing vision impaired like some harlequin nomad.
I saw you trapped in a skin like a magical djinn.
A serious no show.
He’s got you chained to his wall,
but this chasm is swirling your spirit right out of
his hold.
Back when Prometheus
had kept you in his jar,
then let you out to watch you shooting like a star.
and all the silent children wondered who you are.
I know, I know, I know.
For
I had followed you through fields of icy snow
your spirit moving through a labyrinth of ghost.
Then slow ascending through a circle like a star.
I know, I know, I know.
