light in window opposite unmade yellow and blue bed

Orion’s belt across from branch in right foreground

area in painting you see, only a matter of a minute

return to, nothing again, beyond the front and side

woman on beach watching man paddling across channel

golden light sun rising above trees at top of ridge

cloud in blue blackness of sky above shadowed ridge

lines of lights reflected in channel across from it

9.11

first light coming into sky above still black ridge

planet across from black branch in right foreground

say the line with respect to form, concept of point

two groups, visualize the state of things, space of

woman who sees Old Masters at the Met then abstract

artists at the Modern doesn’t notice any difference

cloudless blue white sky above still shadowed ridge

line of pelicans flapping to the right toward point

9.10

dream in unmade yellow and blue bed opposite window

woman getting into grey car asks for ride over hill

once again there is talk, expression of the fact of

other, said it all before last night, which is fine

man on phone asking for sympathy wife driving brand

new white car over the hill hopes she doesn’t crash

cloudless blue sky above shadowed shoulder of ridge

line of 5 pelicans gliding in from mouth of channel

9.9

first light coming into sky above still black ridge

motionless black branches above fence in foreground

concept of subject, which is a project of the world

silence so far, where did you come from, long sound

listener hearing multitude of harmonies among parts

moving in and out of different systems of relations

grey whiteness of fog against top of shadowed ridge

line of 8 pelicans gliding in from mouth of channel

9.8

cloudless blue white sky above black plane of ridge

red-shouldered hawk calling on branch in foreground

surface waves at low tide, upper edge extra insofar

as object, so also things under, at rest themselves

white space on pages something in story missing not

so much lost or misplaced as active in absent edges

cloudless blue sky above shadowed shoulder of ridge

wingspan of osprey flapping across mouth of channel

9.7

light in window opposite unmade yellow and blue bed

black pine branches above fence in right foreground

not something I think you see, “right in this spot”

these images, possibility of aspects, one beginning

photo of two chairs and a foot stool in living room

woman stitching words day after day year after year

grey whiteness of fog against still invisible ridge

line of boat’s lights reflected in mouth of channel

9.6

light coming into fog against still invisible ridge

shadowed pink roses above fence in right foreground

mark concerning not lost, river flowing in field of

beginning to read, before first look, at least this

so too in reader’s or listener’s experience of poem

things not noticed more effective than noticed ones

grey whiteness of fog against top of shadowed ridge

orange line of lights reflected in mouth of channel
