Cathedrals of Hope and Dread
living beneath rumbling subway tunnels
great misfit populations lay their heads
an immense system of pathways funnel
through cathedral chambers of hope and dread
unbeknownst to us, these poor homeless wraiths
erect shelters of ingenuity
fight for survival each day in their caves
imbued with vestige of community
the strand connecting each darkness dweller
is shocking trauma few could imagine
resourcefullness on display so clever
subterfuge, candy coated illusion
required to free from hellish abodes
blessed relief when their stories are told
