Whale is a tide of conviction

「The trench does not argue with the surface.」

「When the shape turns, the sea misplaces its own name.」

「Lanterns trade above. The well keeps what lanterns cannot hold.」

「The chain is the tide table; conviction is the moon you never see.」

「Patience is not waiting. It is weight pretending to sleep.」

「The drum is thin. The tide is law.」

「Ink knows one stroke, then closes its mouth.」

「What the wave writes, the shore must not read aloud.」
