    "how the clouds aligned perfectly
    with the bony fingers

    of a rotten tree
    and suddenly it felt like"

    I absolutely love the sheer imagery of this.

    "how one August morning I caught a glimpse of you looking over at me
    like a homeless man when he finds leftovers before the maggots show up"

    I'm not even sure what to say, it's a gripping ending, but it's caught between self-deprecation and a sort of nihilistic/realist perspective and I'm not sure what to say.

    I just wanted to quickly highlight these two parts from this poem. :)

    Thank you for sharing.
