clouds-28.04.

We are always 

in

Aimless melancholy

that take root

a person 

understand

guarantees of American dreams 

marriage, children, job in a large building

aren’t protection

from desolation

not catastrophic loss

strange little ache that feels like a hollow

where your souls should be

No amount

of soul cycle

probiotics

Himalayan salt

 sleep surgery 

psychoanalysis

can fully alleviate that fog of sadness

existential angst

lives

transient absurd

death mandatory and permanent —but another part feels gradual

a slow drip of little and big losses that will define

we are always 

leaving 

losing

being left

er are always 

looking for 

meaning in clouds
