avoid
pouring
all of
the past year
into 2022,
too fast
or
too soon.
big feels,
big change,
big escapes,
pulling on
frayed hope
will snap
that rope
in two.
2022

where you at in answering the question will we return? and if you respond with i'm really not that sure, do you make small despairs of the thoughts you affirm? or take pride in the air you have dared to disturb? or escape or avoid the pain at your curb? by playing this loosely with people's need to discern, it shows you forgot hope must remain as a verb.
