Creatures of the air
creatures somehow at odds with the world
[humans ought not to fly
the atomic bomb splits what should be whole
the vampire as a stereotyped Jew
the face that launched a thousand ships]
Creatures that have an outer shell
easily guess and qualified
a slight hesitation, only, that the sign
might be misinterpreted
Layers of interpretation
direct, synchronous testimony bears no might
nor does the long and weighty night
of retrospective, earnest contemplation
sometimes we don't have enough information
To solve the puzzle.
