dream in unmade yellow and blue bed opposite window

man paddling in from channel woman standing on sand

cannot see it, cannot see moment ‘once and for all’

blue, adding color to all colors, red or some other

my mother gave me everything I ever wanted there is

nothing like a mother’s love I thought “there I go”

grey whiteness of fog still against invisible ridge

line of pelicans gliding to the left toward channel

light in window opposite unmade yellow and blue bed

shadowed pink roses above fence in right foreground

available correspondence, two and a half times that

is, kind of knowing from, let alone thought come to

fleeting meditations something like the wind, voice

so distant that it seems to be part of earth itself

grey whiteness of fog against top of shadowed ridge

red-shouldered hawk calling on branch in foreground

what we remember is left, more than the work itself

part gesture, seems to be thinking, one-dimensional

memory acting nearly like colors heightening senses

letting me feel as flowers do arranged on a counter

light grey fog against still invisible top of ridge

white wingspan of egret flapping toward the channel

light in window across from the unmade and blue bed

unseen towhee calling from field in left foreground

from this that, which are there, position less than

still need to know why thunderstorms earned his ire

white line of wave breaking across mouth of channel

6.26

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

is an opinion agreed to by everyone what we mean by

“the truth” is an object of this opinion “the real”

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

blue filled, made use of, another which is followed

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

6.24

light grey whiteness of fog against invisible ridge

sound of birds chirping from branches in foreground

an unspecified number of, acquired and sold between

already resolved, deliver into the hands of, itself

I wanted to be free to hear whatever there is to be

heard who knows, maybe I’ll start singing watch out

grey whiteness of fog against still invisible ridge

two towhees landing on wet red bricks in foreground

in this sense we will be, flower blossoming on stem

so that seeming straight, ends up, apparent figures

cloudless blue white sky above still shadowed ridge

red-shouldered hawk calling on branch in foreground

according to more or less established rules, see in

theory, a physical system which belongs to, follows

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

grey whiteness of fog against still invisible ridge

unseen towhee calling on branch in right foreground

in whose squares comes to presence, place of things

walking to the left, wall of sunlight, look at same

on longest day of the year, night bright for months

light in window opposite unmade yellow and blue bed

thin white curve of moon above branch in foreground

possible because situated in it, being not given to

harmony of color, account of portion of blue, white

SFO hoping for waves in Kamakura Monday and Tuesday

sunlit pink clouds above shadowed shoulder of ridge

6.18

cloudless blue sky above still black plane of ridge

white curve of moon next to branches across from it

which seems to something, visible innermost feeling

hidden dimension, horizon at every point, edge like

getting real taste for the sea on those small ships

another continent, noted in last two lines of poems

high thin white clouds in pale blue sky above ridge

half moon next to lines of clouds across from point

cloudless blue white sky above still shadowed ridge

almost half moon above pine branches across from it

mother of 2 kids disappears into mud where tree was

field of presence in wide sense, openness of fields

analysis of harmony, this “beautiful,” two elements
