fluorescent hope

(For my Parkway Heights brothers and sisters)

you are the Harvester of Light

 carrying handfuls of glow-sticks

 all bright yellow and pink

and that teeth-aching green

fluorescent hope

and I hold on

to that stem of Light

with bitten nails and sweaty palms

trusting that if I look towards

Your Glow hard enough

long enough

if I let my eyes blur

the darkness retreats

the Light along the edges

is wide enough 

to hook a crescent of hope upon.

Oh, Sam. This is SO beautiful.

Not only that, but I love seeing you in my box in the morning...I miss you!
