John Sweet

at the broken edge of everything,
at the feet of st maria with
the gift of empty words,
the empty promise of hope,
                of gold,
and in the last sunfilled room
the final door is swinging shut

at the end of the movie
the hero is lost in the desert

the child wanders into the forest,
and not every noble idea
has to be a lie

not every disease can be cured

look at your father

look at mine

understand that the truth,
any truth,
is a labyrinth

understand that
poems can only fail

remember what it means to
believe in silence
