grey whiteness of clouds above still shadowed ridge

sound of bird chirping in field in right foreground

having noted large garden wrote, sketch after paint

means to know as present, belong “where,” when from

unemployed grow food in garden “separation anxiety”

childhood memory of incidents which no longer exist

sunlit pink lines of clouds above shoulder of ridge

shadowed white line of wave breaking across channel

3.14

stars in grey blackness of sky above plane of ridge

planet across from black branch in right foreground

forget the knowledge made us know, speak about just

eyes, perhaps a thousand, when observed two in mind

who knows what before the after or after the before

so many kinds of coyotes ever since the world began

grey blackness of sky above black shoulder of ridge

orange line of lights on horizon to the right of it

3.13

grey black rain cloud against still invisible ridge

sound of jet passing over pine branch in foreground

come to train of thought, besides which as physical

motion of time, attention at the given moment, that

warm wind blowing shadowed tops of eucalyptus trees

time moving forward with some things seeming not to

grey rain cloud against invisible shoulder of ridge

whiteness of wave breaking across windblown channel

light coming into fog against still invisible ridge

song sparrow calling from branch in left foreground

clarification of essence, would if it were the view

see description of “sun,” kinds of paintings, light

woman in brown shawl handing man a jar of clarified

butter after having slept under moonlight all night

grey whiteness of fog still against invisible ridge

white line of wave breaking to the right of channel

grey whiteness of fog again against invisible ridge

three shadowed birds perched on fence in foreground

future itself possible in thought, present and past

person occupied with, not pictorial object, “voice”

man recalling BBC still said “Peking” potted plants

Tiananmen Square where blood was shed June 4th 1989

grey whiteness of fog against still invisible ridge

white line of wave breaking to the right of channel

3.10

grey whiteness of fog still against invisible ridge

silhouette of crow on telephone wire across from it

in keeping with one made, as well as some other one

say the point is without, turning toward it, before

noting eye and ear in the reading of things are one

as music and words before notation broke them apart

grey whiteness of fog against still invisible ridge

line of white wave breaking to the right of channel

3.9

grey whiteness of fog against still invisible ridge

sound of bird chirping on branch in left foreground

through which the feeling we become subject, become

portrait squared, perform function, past each other

those poems like exercises lacking the bottom notes

of the chord that would anchor them to some feeling

grey whiteness of fog still against invisible ridge

white line of wave breaking to the right of channel
