first light coming into sky above blackness of peak

upturned curve of waning moon to the left of planet

space on the tip of the tongue forearm straight out

call which of all things shown itself in such a way

left hand falling forward one when talking about it

as if ideas were something that had happened to him

motionless black lake against vertical granite wall

sound of one bird chirping somewhere across from it

8.13

horizontal line of white cloud above shadowed ridge

sunlit slope of triangular grey peak across from it

other as if the side of someone such and such given

see also the present what is there beginning second

grounded in relation to whether these matters today

background present in the way this establishes fact

blinding white edge of sun above blackness of peaks

motionless lake’s surface below peak across from it

8.12

light coming into sky above triangular granite peak

reflection of rocks across motionless shadowed lake

after view including the differences between colors

along with thought one called thinking of the other

person in another room picking up the phone to call

expecting no one is there to answer leaving message

cloudless blue white sky by triangular granite peak

shadowed white snow on the ridge to the right of it

8.11

pink red orange of sunlight of triangular grey peak

white half moon in cloudless pale blue sky overhead

second painting see at visual center of arrangement

measure of the figure in a moment some such emotion

something about visual less as color than stillness

relative to the fact of things happening over there

plane of granite ridge reflected in motionless lake

white patch of snow on left side of triangular peak

8.10

light coming into pale blue sky above granite peaks

sound of water falling on rocks in right foreground

negative of twice since equal to measure it follows

relative to system in which effect later than cause

how one notices switching something from two to one

was it or were they present in that room of persons

blue whiteness of sky beside sunlit triangular peak

moon above shadowed granite ridge to the left of it

8.9

first light coming into fog against invisible ridge

motionless black bamboo branch across redwood fence

spaces surface around the end let the feeling occur

sounds the present subject shows itself and appears

how mind’s echoing through process becomes interior

interaction of voices an extension of linear sounds

grey whiteness of fog against still invisible ridge

8.8

light grey whiteness of fog against invisible ridge

two house sparrows standing on feeder in foreground

shape perceived between pair one figure and another

more later practice notes the following translation

way home after social distance visit below overlook

person finding the body fallen off bike on hawthorn

grey whiteness of fog still against invisible ridge

3 cormorants flapping across channel toward horizon
