The poem was also inspired by Ada Smailbegovic’s essay ‘Cloud Writing: Describing Soft Architecture of Change in the Anthropocene’ where she writes about ephemerality of clouds and says: “Clouds' edges always remain pliable and soft, casting them towards other clouds and the infinite possibilities of mixing and dissolution.”
