Poetry of Issue 9: Resolution

Resolution

Please tell me why
the sun withdraws
its claim each night
and serves again at dawn.

You know the stars will try
to answer late. They’ll light
up changing, restless laws
of loss within what’s won.

The calendar each day
rules matters will continue.
The parties will go on.

I love how you can stay
well-grounded till we’re done:
Disputes resolve within you.
