Advisement – a poem by Sanjeev Sethi

Advisement

The barrenness spurs me to scratch a glim of His grace. 
This cloudiness is quieter than crevices my calm dwells
in: propinquity inspires new lines and natty stanzas. 

Every footpad has a back story: like him, we’re innocent 
of our chapters in the cosmic omnibus. Someone else is 
in queue: this is the core of continuity.
