Within Dark Hours

for M(eye) Daughter

& for Me

(thanks 2 men Eye do not wish 2 compare)

a small stone lay

w/ The Word Hope

painted upon It

beside M(eye) deck

within Jerome’s sleeping spot —

The Stone HAD been kept

inside a glass bowl

(w/ other rocks worth keeping)

so HOW It got outside

is beyond Me

butt It did Its job today

accompanied by The Personal Prayer

of Our Honourable Baptist Minister
