Weak Hope

"Hope" by George Frederic Watts

 

Overdue

weak god is nine months pregnant

nine months, eight days, sixty-seven hours

145 light years of Hope pressing on bladder

23 million star dates of Hope kicking kidneys

an eon on feet more water than bone

forever off-center, top-heavy, unbalanced

an eternity of the question, "When will I deliver?"
