pale pink line of cloud above still black
trees, red-tailed hawk calling on branch
in foreground, sound of wave in channel
that is, acclimated to that
appearance of showing
before being, made aware of
flatness, to see what
silver of sunlight reflected in channel,
shadowed green slope of ridge across it
Stephen,
ReplyDeleteIn other works of yours, there's often a pattern to the content of the stanzas-- what you see from your window; things you've heard and seen on a previous day; lines from a book. What is the pattern in these daily poems?
Thanks,
Michael Ratcliffe
Michael,
ReplyDeleteYou've got it, same here --the two outer stanzas of 'perception' (things seen and heard) enclosing the two inner ones of things read, all of it 'shaped' on the page (and in the air. . . .
