anything but the necessities

In a humdrum field

life is void of anything but the necessities.


It feels a little bit liminal

How perfect everything is,

But it's also not perfect at all.


The sky is a robins egg in places,

A wonderful blue.

And in others its billowing with pearly regal clouds.

But just another me.


Another feeling.

They go well together, these two feelings.


The feelings are indistinguishable.
