Which is real-

mcassapidis, 2016

WHICH is real—
This bottle of indigo glass in the grass,
Or the bench with the pot of geraniums, the stained mattress and the washed overalls drying in the sun?
Which of these truly contains the world?
Neither one, nor the two together. from The Indigo Glass in the Grass Wallace Stevens

WHICH is real—

This bottle of indigo glass in the grass,

Or the bench with the pot of geraniums, the stained mattress and the washed overalls drying in the sun?

Which of these truly contains the world?

Neither one, nor the two together.

Thursday evening

Walking uphill

whirling circles

of windswept small, dry leaves

at my feet
