A guitar on my street... Children playing outside... A Sunday, and the sun shining golden with joy...



My sorrow that makes me
Love all that's indefinite...
Through I had little in life,
It pains me to have lost it.


But my life already
Runs deep in changes...
A guitar I miss hearing,
Those children I miss being!

That romantic star (one for magnolias, one for the roses). That romantic star just went crazy...


Our Lady Moon 
still hidden,
playing ring around a wheel.
She makes herself look silly.
Loony moon.

So:
You can't look at yourself
in the ocean.
Your looks fall apart
like tendrils of light.
Night on earth.

The children gaze at a distant spot. The lamps are put out. Some blind girls ask questions of the moon and spirals of weeping rise through the air. The mountains gaze at a distant spot...

The field of the olive trees opens and closes like a fan. Above the swimming pool a foundering sky and dark rain of bullets. People run, screams and dead bodies around in the "paradise". Why?


Is it God or the Devil
How run this mislead people ?
Why ? 
So the arc of cry travels from
pool to pool.
From the olive trees a black
rainbow of bullets over the
blue sky.

I'm beginning to know myself.
I don't exist.
I'm the space between what

Or half that space,
Because there's life there too...
So that's what I finally am...
Turn off the light,
Close the door,
Stop shuffling your slippers out there
         in the hall.
Just let me be ease and all by  myself in my room.
It's a cheap world.

Without hope or desire, love or faith, spend your life refusing life, until it's time to put away your toys and go to bed. Everything is what it isn't...


Live, you say, in the present;
Live only in the present.

But I don't want the present,
I want reality;
I want existent things,
Not the time which measures things.

What is the present?
It's something relative to the past
      and the future.
It's something that exists by virtue of
       other things existing.
I only want reality, things without time present.


I don't want to include time in my scheme.
I don't want to think of things as time-bound,
I want to think of them as things.
I don't want to separate them from themselves,
Treating them as things present.


I shouldn't even treat them as a real things.
I shouldn't treat them as anything.
I should see them, just see them;
See them, until I can't think about them.
See them, without time or space,
See, and be able to put aside all but the see-able.
This I hope is the science of perception,
Which is not science at all...

Each day gives me cause to hope... For what no day can ever give me. Each day makes me weary from hoping... But to live is no hope and to grow weary.



Drink up !
Life isn't good or bad.
What we've given it is what it gives to us.
Today we drink wine in celebration,
Tomorrow we'll drink it because we grieve.
Everything is restored to what wasn't.
And no one knows what it is or what will be.

Thousands like you,

To deny their desire for what exists.
Thousands like you,
like a man waking up,
Are once more slaves of the endless,
vain present.

But, someone I never forget...

It's evening on the river, steady, milk-warm...The nettles head-down with feasting caterpillars, the current turning, thin as a blade-bone... Reed-mace shivers. I'm miles from anywhere... Who's looking? Did a fish jump? -and then a heron goes up from its place by the willow... With ballooning flight it picks up the sky -and makes off, loaded. I wasn't looking... I heard the noice of its wings and I turned... I thought of a friend, a cool one with binoculars, here's rarity with big wing-flaps, suiting itself...



There was an old Man with a beard,
Who said,
"It is just as I feared!---"
Two Owls and a Hen,
Four Larks and a Wren,
Have all build their nets in my beard.

The north wind mousses your hair
Hurray grinding mill
Flying mill
Chatter mill
Singing mill
When the sky brings a storm by hand
Hurray mill whirling in memory
Hypnotizing the carrier pigeons.

I pass the swamp borders

it's swollen it's alarmed it's haunted.

How long it's been since
I could write a long poem !
It's been years...

I've lost that capacity for
Rhythmic development
In which idea and form
Move forward together
In a unity of body and soul...


I'm a keeper of sheep,
The sheep are my thoughts
And each thought a sensation.
I think with my eyes and my ears
And with my hands and feet
And with my nose and mouth.

To think a flower is to see and smell it,
And to eat a fruit is to know its meaning.

That is why on a hot day
When I enjoy it so much I feel sad,
And I lie down in the grass
And close my warm eyes,
Then I feel my whole body lying down in reality,
I know the truth,
I know I miss someone,
I know she know's,
And perhaps I'm happy.

To be great, be whole:
Don't exaggerate
Or leave out any part of you.
Be complete in each thing.
Put all you are into the last of
Your acts.
So too in each lake,
With its lofty life,
The whole moon shines.
