first light coming into fog against invisible ridge

motionless black branches in upper right foreground

field following features, increase the dimension of

what appears, moving view from “stationary,” figure

as for what Heidegger might have said to Heraclitus

“unconcealing is the presenting of what is present”

grey rain cloud against invisible shoulder of ridge

shadowed white line of wave breaking across channel

4.11

grey rain cloud above shadowed green plane of ridge

blue jay landing on black pine branch in foreground

just given, thinking that words are material “form”

moment in picture, motion of the thing, relation to

meanwhile, as the rain is falling out there here is

this morning’s poem, different weather going on now

light grey whiteness of sky above shoulder of ridge

white line of wave breaking across mouth of channel

4.10

first light coming into clouds above shadowed ridge

bird chirping from branch in lower right foreground

in the context of a time, take in certain period of

possibilities, turns into the opposite, that can be

how to weigh words that float in air like bird song

know what is heard is chirp of common house sparrow

motionless grey white cloud above shoulder of ridge

white line of wave breaking across mouth of channel

4.9

light coming into blue whiteness of sky above ridge

birds chirping on branches in lower left foreground

close to those in spirit, “know how much I thought”

no need of numbers, think of man who as yet, can go

I made up my mind that the people were the story in

“to feel the agony of the corpses pressing forward”

pale orange of sky above shadowed shoulder of ridge

white line of wave breaking across mouth of channel

4.8

reddish edge of cloud above shadowed plane of ridge

blue jay landing on black pine branch in foreground

evidence of every aspect, appears in translation by

repetition, and so forth, complexity of figure such

as to which no thought whatever has here been given

each thing present from time to time in its own way

pink red edges of clouds above still shadowed ridge

white line of wave breaking across mouth of channel

4.7

man waking from dream in unmade yellow and blue bed

dropping into enormous breaking wave getting bombed

is possible, but does not mean that might have been

body no matter what form, modified by motion, ratio

man returned from a surgical strike on desert point

roping 60-second barrel running down length of reef

grey rain cloud against invisible shoulder of ridge

white lines of waves breaking into windblown channel

4.6

grey rain cloud above shadowed green plane of ridge

drops falling on brick red plane in left foreground

these in not yet needing, different from had enough

ways of painting, through motion of brush, that had

distances in time and space happening here in which

everything that is present folding into single fold

grey rain cloud above still shadowed green of ridge

shadowed white line of wave breaking across channel
