A poem about contemplation on a Monday morning by David Tombale: Above the clouds

Above the clouds is about that Monday mood when you’re still in your covers and random thoughts pass through your mind.

Above the clouds

There is a shallow cough that builds

beneath the breast, almost like the

spirit yearns to be rid of this tender

flesh and I am waking, dreaming only

of the summer when the sun sits

high above the clouds and does nothing

more than glare.
