light in window across from the unmade and blue bed

unseen towhee calling from field in left foreground

one can give good reasons why, it appears to follow

from this that, which are there, position less than

if physicist believed in presence of angry God he’d

still need to know why thunderstorms earned his ire

grey whiteness of fog above shadowed plane of ridge

silhouette of crow standing on branch in foreground

water in field of thought thinking, are such things

what we look at, opposite of seeing, show what both

waking from dream in the unmade yellow and blue bed

people stopping traffic singing the National Anthem

one being so close to me, make up picture before me

man listening to car radio when sax player comes on

each articulation different I don’t know what to do

grey whiteness of fog still against invisible ridge

white line of wave breaking across mouth of channel

sound of birds chirping from branches in foreground

an unspecified number of, acquired and sold between

already resolved, deliver into the hands of, itself

cloudless blue white sky above still shadowed ridge

red-shouldered hawk calling on branch in foreground

onslaught of bird names some of which were familiar

forms lock together on the surface because of color

light blue whiteness of sky above shoulder of ridge

line of pelicans flapping to the right toward point

in whose squares comes to presence, place of things

mail steamer from Bergen Norway north to North Cape

on longest day of the year, night bright for months
