Assurance Realignment

Haikus

Failure leaves the room
wearing a softer necktie now
deficit sits down

Calm continuity
is a beautiful phrase for cracks
that never got fixed

Realignment hums
like a vacuum over shards
glass still cuts the hand

Recurring trouble
learns a more presentable
middle-management voice

Silk over sirens
that is the whole governance trick
if nobody fights

The warning sign blurs
under an assurance glaze
and calls itself health

Language does not weld
the split beam in the ceiling there
it paints it cream first

Deficit, renamed
keeps doing the same old work
just with cleaner hair

So much poise in this
you could miss the floor still warps
under your good shoes

When calm words arrive
too quickly over old smoke
open a window
