That Crooked Line

 That crooked line

 

I hold grief in one hand

hope in the other 

I can’t tell you 

which is stronger 

 

washing sins in 

that dirty river 

sticky and dry 

I remain  

 

walking that 

crooked line 

into a future 

not feeling any wiser 

 

moving towards 

something softer 

that whisper 

calling my name
