Melancholy Poems
Melancholy sits somewhere between sadness and remembering. These poems linger over what has changed, what cannot be kept, and the beauty that sometimes remains in its absence.
Read slowly through the voices here. Some turn toward a person or place; others let a single image carry the feeling without naming it.
