Same Old Book

that last bit of shimmering hope

like the first light of dawn

or like the lat light of dusk,

which one specifically, though,

i am still unsure.

perhaps it is both.

the last bit of hope could be 

that much more helpful

and close this book for the last time.

or, this light could be the start

of a whole new chapter;

the same old book

still sitting open on the table.
