Cézanne and Mont Blanc




Cézanne and Mont Blanc


Mont Blanc is a pyramid, cube, sphere....
each some form of paper, some kite—
a graphite fragment on pastel paper at noon,
hand moving before the word forms—
Paint has moved them out of fissured
rock—color bursts in the air,
freeing the statue, freeing the frame.


(revised from lines done in 2006)

Autumn lines




Autumn lines 


In the autumn pond, plane tree leaves
form a brown, green, molding quilt.
Quick skate bugs, instrumenting off
key the mean at some distance,
Keats’s quotation marks.

On the flat varnished surface
cats paws pull up, echoed off
the coast, wailing skyward--
means bug out, sure indented
water again, reflected sky.


(First versions 2 September 2006. Revised 6 May 20014, a rainy autumnal day)

Pale shore




Pale shore


Computer burning brightly
into drafting table avalanche.
Great clutter up! Tubes of paint, erasers, staplers!
Enter pens ink-pots sketches.
Outside, the street walks by,
roughing in vague cones and spheres,
straightening the screen as you’d straighten a slide show.

In block



In block


The orange block’s between
some stacked white blocks,
under the burgundy block on
some white blocks.
The burgundy block’s on
some white blocks,
above the orange block
between some stacked white blocks.

oceanic





oceanic



on the river i felt free & easy
songbird calls             i stood listening for some time



now                            today i watch gulls circling plaça
onward summer trips to platja



she got that pineapple
streetcorner flute in shirtsleeves of ragged wrist



no no es muy cómodo para trabajar y es muy bonito
