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

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

light grey whiteness of fog against invisible ridge

seemingly familiar combinations may amaze listeners

cormorant flapping toward windblown edge of channel

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

of the world, as visible, innermost region of there

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

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

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

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

visible between them, see sketch, goes in direction

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

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

white line of wave breaking across mouth of channel
