genius of planets & stars, rotations & spinning,
meteorological time possibly, geologic possibly. &
what we name unusual, name human, has little to do
with the truth that morning arrives after night time. If
there’s something to be discovered these months, let
the clouds say so, level the best way. Today somebody
mentioned museum, mentioned gallery, mentioned offstage within the wings,
mentioned within the stacks of the native library, mentioned a bridge
away, up the street, mentioned pockets of, corners, on
a avenue, in a neighborhood, at an intersection, mentioned
historic—these timber, mentioned aerial photographer of
fires, & evacuation, rising water, mentioned emptied out,
& crowded, & someplace. Though I may hear
garden mowers & plumbing & others in different rooms,
every phrase made itself an elsewhere. I’ve to maintain
myself from saying every little thing without delay, from crying,
from ending the decision earlier than they’ve gone although
time’s run out & now we’re late on one other day
that isn’t one besides that didn’t we wake, attempt
once more, say & say? Didn’t we?
