Rise Ashes (New Poem)
Rise Ashes
What if I were ashes. Would I rise
or something else?
Product does not evolve nor become
base parts.
If ashes I became would I float
or in the sleeping be at rest.
burned - no - changed - no
emulsified
would there be a Together again?
The good thing about ashes is that
right before the white-and-charcoal
the film flips and black paper shows
white words, highlighted words.
Something about this makes a kind of sense,
an Aha! sense
in that only moment
before playing on wind currents beyond
fingertips.
