everybody knows hope:
to see through a hole
seeds
of blood
figuring out
figuring out
on a road to die
stopped hearts
gone blue
below a horizon
stabbed with a flag
when carried to the mouths of the camps
they plague hope
time for you
to catch your breath & lament
oh poor frog
your heart is still beating
what are you hombre
Debasis Mukhopadhyay
I love the ending especially
