After Wittgenstein
A contrail divides the skyline
wrinkled with heat. Flies circle trash—
clear plastic—at the seam
between brick path and lawn.
Hours atrophy.
There is the inexpressible
but it doesn’t show itself
today. It doesn’t
show itself in summer.
Even shade as it erases
radiates.
“hours atrophy”...such a wonderful poem!
“Doesn’t show itself in summer”.. true! can’t wait for autumn’s depth and mystery…thank you so much for this poem.
