Where does one find trust?
When each bridge you’ve built
was broken and burnt by those
whom you believed would be
your source of solidarity.
Where does one find trust?
When the ship to which
you trussed the sails of Hope
was wrecked upon the coast
of cold and barren apathy.
Where does one find trust?
Has it gone to ground?
Is it even now hunkered down
deep within its lair that lies
somewhere beneath one’s self-belief?
Instead, should we just
turn the words around –
And rather than ask
‘Where can one find trust?
Ask whether trust wants to be found…
