A photo of a hat
And its face
That takes unseen for seen.
The shell's the frame,
And appurtenance host,
And least interior, most.

Let me the strewn tarots gather
Of fear and anger like unkempt
Hours at hazard fallen.
In hand gathered,
An inconsequential weight.

A season is turning in
And nods above the last leaf:
A frame of sun alive
In a sheen of wood
That moves stillness.
Sleep, season,
Your book is done,
Memoried by those weathering still.

Stop
Is a motion assailed
By another a way contending
Most mutually created.
Start's necessity,
Creatured in poised thought
And servant limb;
Anvil and bell of all quality.

Listen
To the silence to be
In the unmarked score of stillness.
The sweeter unheard's
Partner ecstasy
Is shorter than time,
And longer too.

Look:
A swift's wings
At once serve its desire
And make addition to my name;
Such flights unpurposed
Arc in the air in an eye
That will unnature
Nature's sky and motion
To the height of a separate resolution
For one memory's estate.

The interior voice does go on
With every hour's mismeasure
Of the names of things.
Mayhap if in a space
That itself speaks is this self-voice
Still for another's season,
Right-angled to the world.
