The crickets come forward

night being sound

in two permissions self said when

bodies in secret are made of words

thought to be “atoms” because we can’t read them

this the experience bears out

nothing less real for it

hence the pulsing in their midstwhen we are

in the midst of themstill unknown

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The permissions lie further back

 

“It’s an octopus. Those are the arms. I wrote

my name. And I make fish all around the octopus.”

 

Further back.

 

“a series of circumlocutions”

 

Yes Eros/being/method

 

She has her own hockey skates

there in the garden

 

Oh overwrite nothing just as a trembling

named what was happening—tree doing

that in the actual

eye-of-things

once in a Greek poem

appears in another

also in Dante, andante, remember

the row-covers, gauzy, are perfect for tying

from tree to tree, transforming

farm to midsummer

night’s dream—Theater of Orchard

upcoming next summer

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now crickets are under

the day time sounds

 

 

I slept til 15

minutes to 1

then walked on gravel to help wake up

thru the soles of my feet

 

 

Also the bean plants’

blossoms are red, twined up the cedar posts

so hummingbirds see them

so they can drink them

 

In to the blossom

Thel returned screaming—a Blake thing

Experience, story of—

 

 

“Three-dimensional affairs, they occupy space in ways that reorient the body

toward typically overlooked physical contours . . . of a given environment.”

 

—“The Line in Space,” Helen Molesworth on Cecilia

                        Vicuña’s weavings

 

I stole the mackerel

from Whole Foods, felt it laughing

in my backpack all day

 

Things in the center, acting

 

Wildfire wildflowers out

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The deep sleep yields

rest for the misshapen eye

 

Now think.

 

“The page was folded into a proper dart.”

 

A certain number of out-of-body experiences are likely not to be perceived–

have you noticed this in your travels?

 

One Sun Jewel today was very good, eaten in the Juliets & Juane Flamme

 

Quickly a tightrope was fixed between

a birch forest and the castle

 

altering memory

vexing the matter

she comes to count the horses

in the wild mustard

 

he tumbles down the iris

mountain

 

other eye seeing they

ought to alight

 

quintillions of arrows under the eyelids

must first be removed from the quiver

 

if it were woven

the spider is tipsy

how are you sleeping

 

like a radish in the cooling nights

the dirt is breathing all the time too
