While plans align in perfect rows
While exits wait behind closed doors
… Meanwhile
While shelves demand precision lines
And futures get rehearsed in air
While safety draws its narrow grids
And labels every screw with care
Meanwhile
No counter-move
No tightening jaw
No silent war
Behind the law
Meanwhile
Something grows
Outside the grid
Outside control
Meanwhile
Dry ground knows
What water does
Without being told
Not because I win
Not because I can force it
Meanwhile
While order promises relief
And fear prepares for loss unseen
While rooms get ready for departure
Before departure has a name
Meanwhile
Hope keeps watch
Patience stays through affliction
Prayer keeps time
When nothing moves
I stand in sand
And do not call it empty
The desert does not need me
To explain it
Awareness is not escape
Escape would be easier
Meanwhile
Meanwhile
Not because
It's safe or solved
Or neat or just
Not because it's clear
Not because it's done
Meanwhile
… Meanwhile
