    it was too ordinary / to even dare to remember.

    So devastating to realize so forcefully and all at once what you've known this whole time but couldn't admit to yourself because you have to go about living your life as scheduled: this isn't normal, not even close.

    I love that twist at the end of the poem - the end of everything for us might just be the climax of something immense for the universe.

    "there's the black / chasm of want expanding / in my chest the way a bead / of ink breaks, making me difficult / to touch without an exit plan" Augh so good.

    The rough, raspy voice and the pauses that are a-little-too-long take this poem to a whole new level.

    this poem sent genuine chills shooting through my body - as someone who also painfully struggles with time and change and the thing time distorts and leaves behind I absolutely loved this poem and the idea of how we must the most ordinary and mundane the most when everything goes askew and fades and how we can't hold onto it all no matter how hard we try
