you once told me
you once told me
that you quit your
book club of
two because one of you
could never get your stories
straight, reading well

near the end, hope
near the end, hope
hustles about, lost
with purpose,
like an out-of-
body experience
looking for
somewhere warm
to cling to – the
tell-tale signs

storybook ending

edge of folklore
and fairytale,
between the shimmer
of legend and myth,

of faith – perfecting
the sudden
trills, being stuck
polishing the bass.
and even when
we have achieved
the desired
articulation for
devotion,
the subtlest
stirring can fumble
the smallest
melodic gesture
