there may be unknowns up ahead of you,
and perhaps, this is also true:
there will also be sunrises that continue to
expand all around you.
and what makes sunrises distinct
from the full-light of day
is that they carry traces of night with them
and illuminating the path before you, anyway.
yes, there are shadows out here.
and you do not have to pretend they don’t exist
before you start how flickers of morning-sunlight-possibility
somehow, still persist.
