No One Knows What Happens When They Meet
Washington sends signals.
Highest court hinting.
What exactly.
Could this moment travel that far?
Local grief to national precedent.
Certain people's grief. Certain courtrooms.
If the state decides to act—
and that's the part nobody—
One weather here.
Cold. Chemical. Lungs tightening.
Another weather there.
Robe and gavel.
A sentence written before any of this.
Two weathers drifting toward each other.
What happens when they meet.
No one knows.
Somewhere a candle stays lit.
