a fist in the air

Erica Reid's "The Raft" is a banger. Two excerpts:

....we are all drowning these days, are we not? Don't you wake up
feeling you've reached your limit, that the worst must be past,
only to discover you're at the top of a spiritual Guggenheim,
a cool, white spiral of descent still awaiting you?

... No matter who you are, your very life
is rebellion, your love is a fist in the air.
