In this last of meeting placesWe grope together  And avoid speechGathered on this beach of the tumid river...
(TS Eliot, The Hollow Men)
 
NATURAL POEMS
, 1999-2009For … my family.
IMMENSITY OF BLUELook, with moisture in the eye-whitesInto the cold immensity of blue.A blue of stones and husks and skiesBlue as iron, blue as all the water of the world,Blue that turns to grey, to cordite metal, flashing in the fire of Spheres,Its light breaks the surface as it sinks into the skinAs a pure Love penetrates ones own deep silence and is lostInside the crash of waves, the salty turn of screws, The oily blue of guts, of substance and of all Life's storms and dreams.Look then, with thunder in the pupil-cloudsInto the eyes of the elementsAt the crystal-cold immensity of blue.
 
 THE TREE CARVER / CURL The definitions of the paper-barkLike a world for the creating - The wrestling of thoughts out into formBy scraping thin lines into measured marks;It satisfies a temporary conjunction of cells.Words, drawn from a day, a timeAs though description were an impressive way To hold a human view of earthOr some message to behold an outlookOr a way to see or live -When the world is of the worldWith its own voiceEking moments out for Beauty in dark motionInhaled from the silence of the void, The motion of a million thunder-rolling wavesCurling in upon themselves to feel inherent space within Then break apart in fast, magnificent exhalation;Finishing all immediate sensations. TREES The trees are there;I love to stare at trees. They stand and reach before meWith all their furry leaves
