bright silver of planet in grey-black sky

above ridge, white half moon above branch

across from it, sound of waves in channel

 

      negative spaces between figure

      and ground, in picture

 

      point, then of light, in place

      of this equation write

 

silver line of sun reflected in channel,

white moon in pale blue sky above point

5.13

grey light coming into sky above blackness

of ridge, silver planet above pine branch

in foreground, sound of waves in channel

 

      eye more than enough to go,

      particular dark areas

 

      that perception, in theory,

      showing more and more

 

silver of sunlight reflected in channel,

cloudless blue sky to the left of point

5.12

silver of planet in grey blackness of sky

above ridge, waning white circle of moon

across from it, sound of bird on branch

 

      images which project before,

      in present perception

 

      trace of the outer edge, so,

      shape of white border

 

blinding silver sun reflected in channel,

blue-white haze on horizon next to point

5.11

orange of sky on horizon above still black

ridge, white circle of moon behind branch

in foreground, sound of waves in channel

 

      “content” of line no longer,

      its place is taken by

 

      edge, pulling it back again,

      virtually autographic

 

silver of sunlight reflected in channel,

blue-white haze on horizon beside point

5.10

pink-white cloud in pale blue sky above

ridge, bird calling on branch in right

foreground, sound of waves in channel

 

      lights into focus and out,

      outside given to see

 

      thing visible, intangible,

      emerges with clarity

 

sunlit green of ridge across channel,

blue-white haze to the left of point

first grey light in sky above blackness

of ridge, silver of planet above branch

in foreground, sound of wave in channel

 

      finishes with downward loop,

      gathers itself below

 

      point at which, the present,

      may not be an effect

 

blue-white sky on horizon next to point,

whiteness of gull perched on GROIN sign

5.8

silver of planet in grey blackness of sky

above ridge, black pine branch in right

foreground, sound of waves in channel

 

      picture to be seen, connected

      to practice of looking

 

      description, number and size,

      “small” versus “large”

 

cloudless blue sky reflected in channel,

shadowed canyon of ridge across from it
