RKS Poetry Anthology (All We Get Are The Coffee Grinds): “Hope”

Hope

You-

Held me spellbound

Freshness

Not of plastic standardized perfection

Your smiles in my direction were of courtesy

Civility

And cultured background

I tried to touch you but you needed everybody

Those surly ugly butchers of your beauty

Oblivious to you

They thundered over you

Leaving hoofprints on me

Ripping and agonizing torture

I tried to heal

You pushed me roughly aside

but you knew

didn’t you?
