Lost&Found

You missed out, because you showed up a day late and a dollar short.

You waited longer than the Palestinians have anticipated victory, and with none of their bravery.

You let the fire turn to smoke, poking devil's shoulder to evoke loss of wellness.

You have lost, because you have not found.

Since when was truth supposed to announce itself like an arrogant fool? Dueling with evil to expel hopes. Coping with the reality of your absence. Fences of concrete create discrete differentiations between right and wrong, short and long, speech and song. Along these lines she dances the thin signs shining bright beneath tight feet. She infers more than what is implied and believes lies as love dies and skies cry.

Why?

Because she was looking in the wrong place. Faced with the heavy weight of vacancy, she couldn't see that she was lost, because she did not find.
