arqios

the crooked compass

 

The sundial misses the hour.
So, what.
Clocks lie too.

 

Shadows hesitate,
but hesitation
is still movement.

 

The woman tracing her coffee rim
isn’t lost —
she’s sketching a coastline
that might yet exist.

 

And the kite,
slack in the sky,
still holds colour.

Even fading,
it insists on being seen.
