Lying deep
Beneath surfaces
Keep Barren
Ground We
Fall. Asleep.

Green shoots
Should sprout.
Not weeds
Of Could-
Lead Doubt

Yet hurtling
We cease
This hope
And relinquish
Such beliefs

Then again
Rising East
Ties which
bind Some
possibility

at least
Hope: that
tremendous beast.
Guiding low
and Exact.

To leave
Wise perhaps
Or water
And sustain
This. Momentary lapse.
