misery softened you

seeking to become solid

perhaps

it’s much easier to melt into

empty spaces

and i suppose it’s only natural to freeze sometimes

to emulsify or even coagulate

to change conditions every day

as long as the night is cool and still until morning

to catch the dew from yesterday

but strong winds could turn the plain grey and dry

and it would be heavy all the time
