Meaning
The meaning might as well be screaming.
People build lives,
build a life, and it is a mask,
every anniversary.
It’s a celebration of that task.
To me, it seems like almost as if we never lived at all.
Touchstones feel so very small,
and the meaning, the actual meaning,
is something lost in the years of absolute fog.
James Garratt – August 2025
