They Came as Fine Particulates

I watched her

crumble

and I 

stumbled

upon

a pile of

dust

diminishing 

as dusk

hit.

Ten minutes,

not long 

enough,

her fine

pixels

scooped 

up

with

his.

I'm not sure that I really understand, though I believe most of the greatest poems with the most meaning are the short poems, and I'm sorry that I'm not really following the meaning of this one.

Can you explain?

No problem! It is basically about a girl who loses herself and begins to slowly depreciate, using "crumble" symbolically. And the the ending is merely about a boy who in a sense is similar to herself and they ultimately find comfort in each other, thus finding themselves. The "ten minutes, not long enough" part is the idea that things happen when you least expect them to, along with the belief of everything happens for a reason. I hope that helps!

Wow, well when you say it that way, I get it. (: that's pretty incredible, thankyou for the explanation and the chance to read something so similar to how i've been feeling lately.
