Las Aves Vacías
By Mark Waldron
All the new birds
are made of nothing.
They have nothing inside
(for anti-ballast)
and those insides
are surrounded
in an outside nothing
that has its own
flibberti hole.
The birds,
they’re nothinging
up there
in the nothing trees,
or on nothing roofs
under a nothing sky.
They fly of course,
but what is flying
if not nothing?
