Motes

 



In Storage

 

Walk through the collection

kick up dust.

Discover artifacts— times past,

secure beneath layers of years.

 

Insufflated by recognition, they’ll float.

upward, filtered through time,  

They’ll begin to sparkle— motes,

dancing in sunlight

that slips through an attic window.

 

Reconnected with the re-collected this renascence

reconstitutes pasts to

vivid, palpable, tactile presents,

revitalized but altered.

 

Their genesis, once in real time, now transmogrified in space time,

leaves us pining for original forms

now lost in the continuum.

 

Not forgotten.
