Hoping against a cloverleaf
some days
you're a hunter in the dark
& dreams will-o-wisp.
some nights
you swim in a gall bladder
craving the sweet thumbed thrill of motion
yet happiness is still,
an off-beat memory tombed
in the future while
the world, statuesque, moves on.
your path is a needle's eye
but "it's the right thing to do,
child of creation.” call it bravery
to lay there godsent
& consider possibilities
with a cloverleaf on its backside.
