still

despite
the
promise

time did
not keep its'.

sibilant
sand
hours
eroded
nothing from
the written

and everything
that came before.

as was.

until
you tell
me

this hope
festers

and will scar.

saaleha, i've been reading your pieces for some time now and I have to say it's some of the best I've ever read. thought I should mention that.

if you haven't done so already, think seriously about publication. i'd buy it!
