Observation

Observation

there’s a plastic

bag

stuck in a leafless

tree

the wind moves

through it

but not enough

to free it

it just hangs there

suspended-like

with the sky above it

and the ground below it

illuminated by the light

it waves

at birds and bees

and planes it cannot see

unless it’s raining

then it doesn’t move

at all

like a balloon

caught on a chandelier

it’s still

there
