keeping peace

 

...an abstract of \"unsigned horizon\"

 

The horizon stays unsigned,

a grey span that won’t take a mark.

The raft holds by its own inward pull,

nothing formal keeping it together...
 

while the world asks for a choice

it has no right to ask for...

The shore’s light keeps searching—

looking for a gap, a point to press—


The sun rises needing no agreement,

moving in its own slow way,

a gold that holds even as dark pushes —

heat that stays when the rest goes cold,

steady enough to keep 

the raft in one piece.


Steady enough to keep the raft in peace.
