Hope
I turn on the television
the newsreader in hectoring tones
recites
his sorry litany;
Emergency
Catastrophe
Disaster
Death
so I turn the television off;
notice how loud
the birdsong is this evening
and search for
other words;
Generosity
Gratitude
Tenderness
Love
Spring bathes in gold tonight
-and by such light
hope slowly grows
