Aron Andaren

Ethan Vilu
In the small hours, the sky holds a comforting lantern
to the ocean’s wound. A weak salve for dawn’s careless agony:

his callous claims wreck water’s secrets,
make an unyielding mockery of her depths,

confidently subdue the unseen. With no pause in their storm,
I feel no trace of past disappointments. I have learned
​
to place the fault lines of my life in a drop of rain
impaled by the sun, and have yet to grow weary of the glare.​​​

Ethan Vilu (they/them) is a poet and editor from Calgary, Canada. Their longsheet A Decision Re: Zurich was published by The Blasted Tree in 2020. Ethan currently serves as both poetry editor and circulation manager for filling Station Magazine.
