Hope Committed Suicide

Hope Committed Suicide (indebted for the expression to Lyric Man) She jumped from formidable heights of evaporated elevation All beacons of guidance vanished shine had varnished defeat Dried parched tears scorched desiccated rasping lonely vapour An overpass too far a tower too high a case too deep of closure The draw bridge suspended the heaving weights festooned Floodgates’ mooring unlocked her turnstile spinning reason The parachute of resilient doubt reopened The bungee merely scraped Pandora’s box The trampoline projected springs into the sky Hope committed suicide and failed in miserable stark persuasion
