light coming into sky above shadowed plane of ridge

waning white moon next to rose branch in foreground

preparation for the world of color, all use of word

once and for all, another second, “who can’t speak”

man calling out to woman bottom of the stairs there

the silence between words which someone has to fill

grey line of fog against shadowed shoulder of ridge

pelican gliding to the left across mouth of channel

8.30

first light coming into fog against invisible ridge

motionless branches above fence in right foreground

at left detail of two men with a dog, this observed

calling object into space of things, these, lasting

man designed chairs working from seat first to back

what is opaque in the painting divided split in two

grey whiteness of fog against top of shadowed ridge

line of 2 pelicans flapping across mouth of channel

8.29

dream in unmade yellow and blue bed opposite window

something about losing 7’0” board stolen from beach

period of months, present self in the painting here

faces child in the light, postscript, familiar side

man walks up ramp after paddling across the channel

woman recalling child about to jump into boy’s arms

grey white edges of cloud against shoulder of ridge

line of 4 pelicans gliding in from mouth of channel

8.28

light grey whiteness of fog against invisible ridge

3 sparrows perched on feeder by fence in foreground

transform interval called vector, vanish one system

in time to look finished, feel ripe, in same breath

unable to walk down the street without feeling some

loss of all secondary feeling of self in the moment

grey whiteness of fog against top of shadowed ridge

line of 5 pelicans gliding in from mouth of channel

8.27

light grey whiteness of fog against invisible ridge

red-shouldered hawk calling in branch in foreground

see morning in such a way listening to it, relation

to something more, inside out, remember hearing one

as patterns of sound linked in different but always

seemingly familiar combinations may amaze listeners

grey whiteness of fog against top of shadowed ridge

cormorant flapping toward windblown edge of channel

8.26

first light coming into fog against invisible ridge

black pine branches above fence in right foreground

the meaning of a sentence once more, sense of sight

lines diagonal structure, “animated,” “above below”

rose branches growing over horizontal cypress trunk

pink white flower blowing below red-shouldered hawk

grey whiteness of fog against top of shadowed ridge

line of 4 pelicans gliding in from mouth of channel

8.25

light grey whiteness of fog against invisible ridge

2 towhees walking across bricks in right foreground

drawing at left moving it closer, fill in the space

of the world, as visible, innermost region of there

man telling woman at the bottom of the stairs there

was silence between words which someone had to fill

grey whiteness of fog against shadowed top of ridge

white line of wave breaking across mouth of channel

8.24

light coming into fog against still invisible ridge

motionless black branches above fence in foreground

put forward was the same, something there each time

front and side, the image we expect, period follows

after thinking a long time almost waking deep sleep

then something is back the fog sort of cleared away

light coming into fog against top of shadowed ridge

lines of lights reflected in channel across from it

8.23

first light coming into fog against invisible ridge

motionless black branches above fence in foreground

three quantities, defined for every system of which

two-fold variance, change of position, motion point

“there” the occurring site of the moment of turning

transition still as it slips from there into system

grey whiteness of fog against top of shadowed ridge

line of 4 pelicans gliding in from mouth of channel

8.22

light coming into fog against still invisible ridge

house sparrow perched on branch in right foreground

flight of shooting stars, look of the dawning light

itself somehow seen, kind of arm, steadying himself

man wiped out from no sleep doesn’t see Uncle Vanya

after woman has coffee she becomes a lot friendlier

grey whiteness of fog against top of shadowed ridge

line of 2 pelicans gliding in from mouth of channel

8.21

dream in unmade yellow and blue bed opposite window

man driving car up mountain road window blacked out

material approach object, so it is a sentence again

horizontal tension, three rectangular forms, number

Stein’s “Picasso” with two long sentences both with

same main clause modification in subordinate clause

grey whiteness of fog against top of shadowed ridge

line of 6 pelicans flapping in from tip of sandspit

8.20

light in window opposite unmade yellow and blue bed

circular orange flower beside green glass back door

maybe seen blue painting, pared down form of ground

in such a way that turned about, inner region, part

ripeness as the turning of the event after one says

one and the other seeing such as thinking something

grey whiteness of fog against still invisible ridge

line of 9 pelicans gliding in from mouth of channel

8.19

grey whiteness of fog against still invisible ridge

orange flower next to glass back door in foreground

consider quite some time, something not quite right

approaching, isolation of faces included, images of

portrait not of one’s perception but the perception

of someone placed in the field observing one’s work

grey whiteness of fog still against invisible ridge

line of 4 pelicans gliding in from mouth of channel

8.18

light grey whiteness of fog against invisible ridge

sound of bird chirping on pine branch in foreground

straight line depends on, components of an interval

day along a line thought, ideas of space, equations

thinking of what happens in song in which one hears

words in terms of music and music in terms of words

grey whiteness of fog still against invisible ridge

line of 7 pelicans flapping in from tip of sandspit

8.17

light coming into fog against top of shadowed ridge

circular orange flower beside green glass back door

narration following words “after they lay down,” as

face somehow too exposed, three-dimensional, simply

section presenting a range of two-dimensional edges

margin finding the way to insistence on the surface

grey whiteness of fog against top of shadowed ridge

line of 3 pelicans flapping in from tip of sandspit

8.16

light coming into blue whiteness of sky above ridge

red-shouldered hawk calling on branch in foreground

as all others in the same way, face or back subject

visible between them, see sketch, goes in direction

interaction of forced coherence riding on subway to

atmosphere of pencil and colored pencil and gouache

cloudless blue sky above shadowed shoulder of ridge

white line of wave breaking across mouth of channel

8.15

grey whiteness of fog against top of shadowed ridge

two sparrows perched on redwood fence in foreground

attention to alignment and pattern, in play of line

no further thought, space grounded in, presences of

abstractions of surfaces fluid textures of thoughts

how perceptions enter the words that make them real

grey whiteness of fog against top of shadowed ridge

line of 12 pelicans flapping toward tip of sandspit

8.14

grey whiteness of fog against top of shadowed ridge

song sparrow calling from pine branch in foreground

brought to life by which, I remember his reluctance

would be at the same time diagram, new world, hands

poem pointing through its words to the world making

world words transcribed as the grammar of landscape

grey whiteness of fog against top of shadowed ridge

white line of wave breaking across mouth of channel
