grey whiteness of fog against invisible

ridge, shadowed green of leaves lifting

in foreground, sound of wave in channel

starting to appear, not more

than those places where

in a picture, literal answer

is a figure, in a sense

grey-white of fog reflected in channel,

wingspan of gull flapping toward ridge

8.6

grey whiteness of fog against invisible

ridge, song sparrow calling from branch

in foreground wave sounding in channel

the canvas under the picture,

an object of perception

moves, something about which

is found, more and more

grey-white of fog against top of ridge,

cormorant flapping across toward point

8.5

light coming into fog against invisible

ridge, black shapes of cypress branches

in foreground, sound of wave in channel

flat bright color surrounded

by elements, which seen

thinking that, in view, will

not see what is closest

grey-white of fog reflected in channel,

circular green pine on tip of sandspit

light coming into fog against invisible

ridge, shadowed green black pine branch

in foreground, sound of wave in channel

form, the distressing social

period in which he made

in the same direction, force

of tonal value, finding

grey-white of fog reflected in channel,

wingspan of tern flapping toward ridge

8.3

grey whiteness of fog against invisible

ridge, shadowed green of cypress branch

in foreground, sound of wave in channel

also co-ordinates on surface,

which have significance

that is, gravitational field

for other forms, system

grey-white of fog reflected in channel,

line of pelicans flapping toward point

8.2

grey whiteness of fog against invisible

ridge, red-tailed hawk calling in right

foreground, no sound of wave in channel

ways of concealing, say that

come into relation with

waiting, not knowing exactly

when, what happens next

grey-white of fog against top of ridge,

circular green pine on tip of sandspit

8.1

grey whiteness of fog against invisible

ridge, shadowed green black pine branch

in foreground, sound of wave in channel

also the same object as that

which appears, how near

that matter was, connections

to this, as possible as

grey-white of fog reflected in channel,

wingspan of tern circling up across it
