Dream Poem - the Truth of Birds

From a dream the words escape "The truth of birds: a sphere" In a bottle, labelled and sealed I don't know whether it's perfume or alcohol, hallucinogenic or poison The bottle is simple, how do I reveal the truth? I'm awake now The bottle and contents have evaporated I sense the truth are wings and hovering on an air current Viewing the world from above Silently Forever or for long enough to know The truth of birds: a sphere I arrived and I will leave Eventually forgotten but for a label

Thanks Paige, I considered whether this one written in a half dream was to abstract but I liked something about it. It's so easy for the in-between of life and death to disappear without ever meaning anything or really being known or knowing yourself. Hard to know what anyone reading would get out of this one with it being somewhat obscure
