Something in the Air


.

File:Alcea rosea2 ies.jpg




The identity sign
held Wittgenstein
is a lie

Some kind of
dust or
pollen in the air,

falling,

a light cloud
drifting
earthward --

"I"'s blurred
memorial
dispersing into

several
unsorted
particulates

  2. This poem has waited three years and six days, drifting in the air, waiting for someone to come along and catch it in a palm before it blows off again, now having actually existed.
