Love Death and Hope

Hope is a highwire balancing act
Love is the sordid rope balanced upon
laden with razors and ice so cold it burns

Hope is drops of blood let from a pale wrist
Love is the not quite empty hungry
darkness waiting below

Hope is a breath held
Love is the crowded nothingness
it escapes into

Love is the death of all things hopeful
