#7 after Kit Kelen (#9)
[...] drawing
a new coastline
with
just this little ink
a
wash
hard
not but to think Norway
come
closer ear of sea
and
islands -- you lie further off
I'm
telling this tale, am I not?
and
is it sky draws on
so
shaded from green thought?
lake
longing to be ocean
the
river draws the sea [...]
DRIFTS
In my office
dreamy mood and a word on my lips
drifts
that says nothing to you
but (maybe) some vague memory
and a dim light
drifts away drifts into apart off
drift net
ice
snow
thus water hence streams
so with the paper littering and wavering
on the floor around me
there is a way of “drawing a new coastline”:
Take a piece and fold it
make a square then a conical hat or a
tent
then a boat
which reveals a seascape.
And now can you hold your tongue?
What word is on your lips? Which tale are
you telling?
