I'm so sad and upset,
Yet ain't looking from above to me.
Our eyes never met,
Along a journey I they'd never see.

Cold they lay,
Soil dry and course
I feel there's so much to say.
Change their fate I call upon an imaginative force.

Thousands of lives I'd give, to see them again.
Whilst to them a stranger,
Oh calm I should find when?
I'd wish upon a great soul exchanger.

i'm ewan — developer, writer, occasional poet. i build open-source ATProto tooling,
self-host most of my own infrastructure, and take commissions for things i'm actually
good at.

if any of that is useful or interesting to you, ko-fi.com/ewancroft
is where commissions live:

• poetry from £10
• short stories from £20
• SvelteKit websites from £100

everything's CC BY-SA 4.0. no NDAs, no nonsense.

tips are also welcome if you've got use out of anything i've made or written.
either way, cheers.
