Promise
the most fragile of all human inventions
easily broken
so delicate
you can shatter it
in an instant
into small intricate pieces
sometimes empty
impulsive
written in water
or worth keeping
with brevity
but without guarantee
time and time again

trust: an idealism
ambivalence: an option
treachery: a possibility
the future is at stake
savor each word
with a grain of salt
