A Span from Heaven's Highway

Delay upon delay has left things without revival. Anyone looking for reputation is warned against reaching far. The boat is boarded and the water turns rough. Heaven's broad road is close enough to touch and still cannot be reached.

That last line gives Kyo, Bad fortune, its sharpest picture, and Kyo is the grade the book prints. Closeness brings no access here, and the span of a hand does the same work as a wide sea.

For someone reading this now, the image fits the goal that stays visible and within apparent reach while delays accumulate. A barrier can be very small and still be complete.
