is not to be looked on as
consequence of, thing
nothing, which is painted
an object, phenomenon

work “about human absence”
what had “been there”

follows that equation

to each one for what it is,
these become ‘vision’
given events, ray of light,
in place of real time
cloudless blue sky reflected in channel,

first light coming into sky above ridge,

forms a picture, nothing but
sum of limited views
hypothesis, what else is new,
on the viewer’s part
cloudless blue sky reflected in channel,
shadowed green slope of ridge across it
first grey light in sky above black plane
of ridge, silver of planet beside branch
in foreground, sound of wave in channel
impression of picture plane,
pressure from outside
optical effect not, perhaps,
a body of etched work
cloudless blue sky above sunlit ridge,
line of 17 pelicans gliding toward it
first grey light above blackness of ridge,
curve of waning white moon next to planet
across from it, sound of waves in channel
direct pressure from outside,
use of obtuse angles
some place, contrast “worked,”
must have been point
white cloud in pale blue sky above ridge,
grey line of fog on horizon beside point
first grey light in sky above blackness
of ridge, silver of planet above branch

object replaced by one-sided,
more or less audible

first grey light in fog against invisible
ridge, birds calling from branch in lower

to the point of invisibility,
so that what we see is
position, version of subject,
only completely framed
whiteness of fog on horizon beside point,
tree-lined green of ridge across from it
grey-white clouds above top of shadowed
green ridge, red-tailed hawk screeching
in foreground, sound of wave in channel
see red ground, that these
areas of paint often
non-divisibility of events,
however, equivalence
grey whiteness of clouds next to point,
wingspan of pelican flapping toward it
shadowed blue railing below blue gate
at top of stairs, crow calling across
from it, sound of waves against rocks
line at an angle to axis,
corresponding to point
words, pointing at things,
systems of convergence
grey-whiteness of clouds beside point,
line of 10 pelicans gliding toward it
blue railing slanting toward blue gate
at top of stairs, song sparrow calling
in foreground, sound of waves on rocks
point appears as at rest,
looked on as at rest
direction which, picture
plane, shape of line

green canyon of ridge across from it
blue railing slanting toward blue gate

area inside ruled border,

canvas, what painting

tree-lined tip of point across from it
shadowed blue railing below blue gate

“sketch,” oblique views,

as has sometimes happened,
balance shifted some
direction of motion, fact,
contraction in ratio

darker cloud on horizon across from it
grey whiteness of cloud against shadowed

to be absolute coincidence,
ceasing as a sensation
probably red, color always,
between dark and light
grey-white clouds against top of ridge,
wingspan of pelican flapping toward it
grey whiteness of fog against invisible
ridge, red-tailed hawk calling in left
foreground, sound of waves in channel
relations in the continuum,
it must be emphasized
detail lost in dark, light
color, shadow too red
grey-white clouds reflected in channel,
shadowed green slope of ridge above it
shadowed green ridge against grey-white
sky, red-tailed hawk calling on branch
in foreground, sound of car in street
same elements, expression
of complex pulsation
ends up red, more salient,
things have happened
green slope of ridge against blue sky,
windblown blue-green channel below it
first grey light in sky above blackness
of ridge, silver of planet above branch
in foreground, sound of wave in channel
how thinking sees concealed
reflecting this, fact
direction of motion changed,
in particular, result
silver of sunlight reflected in channel,
grey-white cloud against shadowed ridge
first grey light in cloud above blackness
of ridge, bird calling on branch in right
foreground, sound of jet passing overhead
between the stems of words,
withdrawal of forget
lower branch composed, two
views, one expansive
grey-white clouds reflected in channel,
shadowed green slope of ridge above it
