The Scales Of Justice
The Scales Of Justice
An earthrise underglobe
Tilts,
Swaying the axis in excruciating
Slow-motion
From side to side
And finally - so finally
Aligns.
All the world is quiet now
Waiting for the word.
It is coming,
Unleashed like an arrow
Across the light-years.
In which cup will it land
In the Scales Of Justice?
