A Footnote About Hope Poem by abigail j.s.

A Footnote About Hope



hope remains.
sticking to our elbows
like honey from the countertop
we just finished wiping off.
engraved in our hearts
like the holes in our ears
where we have been pierced,
or the ink on our skin
where we have been tattooed,
or the scars on our knees
where we fell and scraped them
on the concrete
years ago.

therefore take heart
and be strong
because despite all our efforts:
hope remains.
