The Middle of Things
the significance of a bird
flying over a continent
depends upon
the position of the sun
and the angle of the camera.a person travels west
to California. eight years later
another person travels west
to California. the space between
them depends upon a third event.the trajectory of a body
through time depends upon
the first event.
the space between
depends upon the outcome.she was circumstance.
a particle along a curved space.
the horizon forms
around her voice.
could be a remembering.
something that was alive
years ago.a wing-like movement
pushes her away. open space
edged with petal-like sound,
something she did not know before.the significance of a bird
depends upon
the position of the sun
and the angle of the camera.
