first grey light in sky above still black

ridge, white circle of moon above branch

in foreground, sound of wave in channel

in concealed repose of this

holds, is established

there, distance in question,

how it changes things

grey of cloud in green canyon of ridge,

line of pelicans flapping toward point

4.28

first grey light in sky above still dark

ridge, whiteness of moon behind branches

in foreground, waves sounding in channel

object is presented against

background, the thing

e.g., in painting, material

become possible after

grey rain cloud against invisible ridge,

slope of sandstone cliff across from it

4.27

grey whiteness of cloud against invisible

ridge, motion of wind in green of leaves

in foreground, sound of wave in channel

in various ways, written to

describe the pictured

passage before, after a new,

begins a course "here"

silver circle of sun reflected in channel,

white clouds in pale blue sky above point

4.26

first grey light in sky above blackness

of ridge, silver of planet above branch

in foreground, wave sounding in channel

nothing is disclosed except

shade, figure appears

raised, every point focused,

reference to depicted

silver of sunlight reflected in channel,

cormorants flapping across toward point

4.25

first light coming into sky above still

shadowed ridge, robin calling on branch

in foreground, wave sounding in channel

nature of body, which other

bodies then free from

run in direction of, second

system, present point

cloudless blue sky to the left of point,

sunlit white of terns circling overhead

4.24

first grey light in sky above still black

of ridge, owl hooing from branch in left

foreground, no sound of wave in channel

founded in the back that is

that itself, of being

looked at, distance, across

space between figures

grey-white fog against invisible ridge,

circular green pine of tip of sandspit

4.23

grey whiteness of fog against invisible

ridge, profile of sparrow on fence post

in foreground, sound of wave in channel

as if in a temporal setting,

'figure' and 'ground'

form, evidence which limits

this, various missing

silver of sunlight reflected in channel,

line of pelicans gliding toward horizon

4.22

whiteness of cloud above still shadowed

slope of ridge, motionless green leaves

in foreground, sound of wave in channel

two drawn versions of this,

tacked to studio wall

here, to be sure, position

to which word attunes

dark grey cloud above shoulder of ridge,

line of pelicans gliding toward horizon

4.21

light coming into sky above still black

of ridge, first bird's chirps on branch

in foreground, sound of wave in channel

such as to make them appear,

being without shadows

so the picture, consistency

of surface, exception

grey-white sky on horizon next to point,

whiteness of gull perched on GROIN sign

4.20

grey rain cloud against invisible ridge,

golden-crowned sparrow calling in left

foreground, sound of waves in channel

gravitational field written

out in full, is there

sound a first approximation,

acceleration, so that

grey-white cloud reflected in channel,

tree-lined green ridge across from it

4.19

grey-white of cloud above shadowed green

ridge, red-tailed hawk calling on branch

in foreground, waves sounding in channel

has to do with what happens,

means "coming to pass"

as ordinary absence, looked

after, and once again

cloudless blue sky reflected in channel,

line of pelicans gliding toward horizon

4.18

silver edge of sun in branches above ridge,

golden-crowned sparrow calling oh dear me

in foreground, waves sounding in channel

acts of perception possible,

to bring into picture

stands in shadow, this "and,"

is only a consequence

line of cloud in pale blue sky above point,

sunlit green slope of ridge across from it

4.17

first silver of sun rising over shoulder

of ridge, golden-crowned sparrow calling

in foreground, sound of waves in channel

description of the painting

doing nothing, sketch

looking "there," then "here,"

essence of the places

silver line of sun reflected in channel,

sunlit white cloud to the left of point

4.16

clouds in grey-white sky above shadowed

plane of ridge, motionless green leaves

in foreground, sound of wave in channel

leaving structure of leaves,

conditioned by things

as well as surface, picture

plane, objective view

sunlit white cloud to the left of point,

cormorants flapping across toward ridge

4.15

silver of sun rising over shadowed plane

of ridge, golden-crowned sparrow calling

in foreground, waves sounding in channel

gravitational field, object

following the body of

light, the distance between

sun and star, thought

white cloud in pale blue sky on horizon,

cormorants flapping across toward point

4.14

shape of grey cloud above shadowed plane

of ridge, golden-crowned sparrow calling

in foreground, waves sounding in channel

thinking of "present itself,"

thought of that which

is present itself, trace of

it, specific occasion

silver line of sun reflected in channel,

whiteness of gull flapping toward ridge
