Original poem reprinted online here: "Unfollowed Figment" by Lyn Hejinian Originally read: June 3, 2013 More information about the Poet: Lyn Hejinian "This poem is one of a series, all of them elegiac in intention, and subject to the strange forces of mourning that let loose illogical developments, into impossible configurations of thought. The poem is built of non-sequiturs, because that’s what’s left in the wake of the death. We cannot follow the dead, whether they are persons or ideas. Instead we remain, but in a situation that, in their absence, makes no sense." - See more at: http://www.poets.org/viewmedia.php/prmMID/23565#sthash.RvhAfdul.dpuf  "This poem is one of a series, all of them elegiac in intention, and subject to the strange forces of mourning that let loose illogical developments, into impossible configurations of thought.
