Hope in Poetry & Free Verse

Fetid Waters

Face the demons you've brought to light.

With your mother's intuition, you thought you had the right.

You've stepped outside yourself, across a great divide

Gotten caught up in the flotsam's rip tide.

The only hunger that gets fed is yours

While you revel on your shallow shores.

You've left your spawn in tidal pools..

Watched and cared for by saints and fools.
