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.

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
C
omputer 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
