                HOPE'S CAVE

Swimming solo into the cave without food
Or a map, into the promise of nasturtiums
And quiet beyond silence, into days of boredom
Dissolving these nights of discovery where water,
Stone and the complete absence of light
Coalesce to scintillate a vulnerable hope
Birthed squalling, bloodied and beautiful,
Blind to betrayal, to nasturtiums,
To being hurried through darkness.
