light coming into fog against top of shadowed ridge

first birds chirping from field in right foreground

sure as such which is lifted over holds into itself

which habit of mind presses is question of how high

vulture comes up from sound lands on telephone pole

looks down like cat with paws tucked under at woman

grey whiteness of fog against top of shadowed ridge

white line of wave breaking on sand next to channel

could be a couple of days before I’m home then gone

horizontal line of fog across top of shadowed ridge

motionless green palm fronds on tree across from it

light coming into sky above shadowed plane of ridge

sound of cars passing on freeway in left foreground

form following position of every other system moves

first grey light in sky above shadowed granite peak

sound of water falling on rocks in right foreground

translation less the absence of what is saved hence

as if it really is one point maybe given what it is

sense the eye asks what it sees and what knowing is

white circle of sun rising behind branches of trees

clouds in sky above granite ridge to the left of it

whiteness of stars in sky above still shadowed peak

sound of water falling on rocks in right foreground

moon above shadowed granite peak to the right of it

line of white wave breaking across mouth of channel

grey whiteness of fog against top of shadowed ridge

sound of quail on red brick plane calling Chi-ca-go

grey white fog still against invisible top of ridge

shadowed swell lines moving toward mouth of channel
