I live by the way

When not looking but

At the cat's green eye,

The heavy snow and wall of sky,

And maybe Bruegel's hunters trudging by

On the way to eternity

Borne with a patient eye

As weightless as the snow and sky.

To pass is forever

Yet out the window nothing really moves,

Not the crossing geese, the parking cars,

The intermittent face; the dailyness:

As if eternity were a point,

A present moment.

A clout on the head

With a word from wind

To wood made me wordless:

Such respite!

To sense without reflection

Like a cat at a window.

Full flowers most unseasonably

Lush even to the cobbles where

Oval shadows of leaves tremble

With the air

Ephemeral as a glance,

Remember?

Virtual lilac rosemary violet

Infused corridors bloomed,

Like courts in panoply,

Long in show yet short in everyway

External.

Call it idleness
To take today for yesterday
Every grain of sand the same,
Every face, every distant voice.
Every gull the same indeed.
Tomorrow's wave will curl
Idly so, every glint and shadow,
Just the same as today's.
