Lighght Floating

Lighght is one of the shortes poems on Earth. Despite this, it packs a powerful symbolic punch.

Lighght: say it aloud, now: liiiiiiit. Or, perhaps, li-G-it. Either way, it calls attention to the strange silence that is created by letters on the page, but not recognised in speech. Also, by putting more nothing into the word, the artist Aram Saroyan makes 'light' itself lighter and airier to say. 

With his permission, I have made this airy word seem to be floating away, like a balloon. Wear it as a necklace or display it in your home. Othe sizes and shapes of lighght are availble in my shop!
