Governance
shines
on
shadow ridges
sharpened
against eroding waves.
A
rudderless knife slicing
the
depths of thought,
slipstream
disturbing
the
undertow of being.
Its
hull glows
against
the sky at night,
shining
a
spotlight on the surface
searching
for shoals of laws and rights
to
drain through its sieve-like maw.
