Hope is a stubborn music
humming beneath the ruins,
a small defiance dressed in dust—
it drinks from broken fountains,
keeps faith with thirst.
Life, that erratic juggler,
tosses its flaming oranges:
loss, pleasure, a stray tomorrow.
We learn to catch with burned fingers,
the skin remembering heat.
