living


I live on a street
where people walk by
I see their parts and pieces
through stands of trees and bushes
their mass though bits of movement
on scattered light beams--
rays of reflecting light
tell me so

ants, moving slowly to and from their hill
with a certainty
known to them but
a mystery to me
these go to the ocean shore
to the waves and crashing surf and
more perhaps,
and back again

I saw a blind woman walk this way
and back in the later afternoon sun
tap, tap, tap--another mystery
I hear clipped laughter like a movie
that reels onward--then, gone
an audience of the audience
who seek and look and return
a movie,  always in the making

angle of repose


the sunhats shed rays
the canoe hull dried
pigments, too, on stretched
canvas
autumnal grasses and
paintbrushes splayed , upward
he painted
she, deep within
and still
leaned away and toward
the canvas, brushes, grasses--
all an angle of repose

refractions and reflections




the sun drops under the rim of my eye,
into the dome of my cornea,
moist, tepid and home to images
I catalogue with each eyelash flutter
each lens shutter

focus near in and far away
the broadness of horizon curves, to
the fuzziness of too much closeness
each image captured, held
in liquid suspension, with

fix, stop and wash,
upon my psyche, heart and mind
opening me to what is, and
what holds beauty, now
and forever etched onto, and into

my being with energy, imagery,
sending me places only the Universe’s
planetary marvels possess when
striking my water receptors and refracting
upon my mind.
