Check In

I love it

When your bubble bursts

And you have to join the rest of us

Back here on Earth

Where even clouds

Are known to stock logic.

And if they can’t dodge it

You’ll suffer too

 

I just wanted you to hear it.

 

I didn’t need to see

The dreamer’s drop

Into a busted rock

Or escalate your age.

I just want to align us

Along the lines

Of a certain type of page.

 

You don’t have to build up to fall

Or give up to stall.

 

Here around the living

You don’t have to build up to fall

Or give up at all

while waiting out the breaks.

And no matter what it takes

let the sky alone.

Because in the end, my friend

The clouds can’t be a home.
