"unfurling" by Chuck Beals

unfurling


let them have their obedient hurry
racing to timeclocks
and corporate contracts

I will watch those who move slowly
slow like they're disappearing
blending with favorite moments
merging with available electrons

in this wavering sea
they can float like flags
above a ship of blinded sailors
lost in fog and storm

and a strong and silent unfurling
will be made against the sky
that only angels can hear
and only magi are able to see
glowing in the desert night
