MA|DE
WRECKED BY A CLOUD
Lost in the wilderness of everyday life:
Would you mind if I tagged along with you?
Happily derailed by someone else’s dream,
it is a long way down when you are wrecked
by a cloud. My only desire, freckled with rain.
Shoulders shaped like tension, letters cramped
like the closeness you are still hoping for.
The river does not always lead us to civilization,
sometimes it only takes us to the edge
of the fathomless sea. A briefly experienced
eternity.
