Cradling my head in my hands, I observe a non-sensical sky— clouds in addition to light, as if day can't decide what party to join, a lighthearted one, or another of darker composition yet perhaps it can hold both together, a mix of weather? & with that thought the clouds part a little in me.

A train platform after midnight the river carrying broken neon through oil and rain Beautiful, this ruin almost feels someone keeps turning a soaked tourist map beneath the station lights Borrowed, the city becomes inside the arriving train then disappears @sensewords.bsky.social No. 229
