in midst of dense
[any word amazes]
eucalyptus foliage
fulfills visual
seeing only graygreen
moving
in shattering wind crossing
some yellow at top with
some sun beginning
to move above distant
hill
and some light come
In. In.
open spaces
in foliage day’s
beyond it all
to
come

Memorializing sun blaze
On ocean can’t see
Eye registers an edge
Or it’s pain to look
Mauve hills backdrop
Foreground background
Unground
Recollection in tranquility
In writing mind’s
Eyes

___
Silver metallic blaze
At angle on desk
Close in looking
Paper arrangements
Staples frog
In own shadow
In light all’s
Dark
Blinded by light
Light speaks
Says light, light
There’s always no shape
Ever

Some white some
blue some black
some some some
ever some never
some blue or white all —
some music in some
seeing
some space there or here
between branches
some space
knows space
knows one, someone
clusters of leaves
Hang down
In? In?

Minute changes
[no such]
these shadows
eternally darken
grow long fingers
[no such]

over metal beasty
