poetic justice




juniper berries are used
to flavour gin
left overs are tasty
to the truly hungry
if you are chained
you long for freedom
how much experience
makes you experienced
today's nightmare
yesterday's dream
hope is a sullied trap
irresistible to the unwary
is their an afterlife
where love goes when it dies
how hard must one look
to find poetry in justice
ice left in the sun
mostly melts
