i get it

i get it, the reason people tie notes to balloons and send them into the sky

these poems are a bit like that for me-
words on a piece of paper that doesn’t exist, to be read by people who don’t exist

the thought of them in their bottle rising into the sky, though…

that theoretically visible glimmer in the distance, so easy to miss
a man adrift in the ocean with a black lifesaver
a whisper lost in a storm

i am so tiny
but i am here.
