The day hope got heavier than the heart that held it.

search for hope in a soft voice
and        yell       at yourself
whispering lingers far
too easily misinterpreted

the words you need wait lined up before you
not in a face
not on your tongue
not in a thousand million shouts
but in as many days

For where your treasure is
              getting a haircut
              moving away
              failing to notice

                                                 your heart will be also.

Don't put your hope on my shoulders
because they slant down
and that's the way they were made
and no matter how much i work out
that will never change.


if i knew what to say i would have spoken louder.
