FACING THE MUSIC

Blue. And within that blue a feeling

of green, the gray blocks of clouds

buttressed against air, as if

in the idea of rain

the eye

could master the speech

of any given moment

on earth. Call it the sky. And so

to describe

whatever it is

we see, as if it were nothing

but the idea

of something we had lost

within. For we can begin

to remember

the hard earth, the flint

reflecting stars, the undulating

oaks set loose

by the heaving of air, and so down

to the least seed, revealing what grows

above us, as if

because of this blue there could be

this green

that spreads, myriad

and miraculous

in this, the most silent

moment of summer. Seeds

speak of this juncture, define

where the air and the earth erupt

in this profusion of chance, the random

forces of our own lack

of knowing what it is

we see, and merely to speak of it

is to see

how words fail us, how nothing comes right

in the saying of it, not even these words

I am moved to speak

in the name of this blue

and green

that vanish into the air

of summer.

Impossible

to hear it anymore. The tongue

is forever taking us away

from where we are, and nowhere

can we be at rest

in the things we are given

to see, for each word

is an elsewhere, a thing that moves

more quickly than the eye, even

as this sparrow moves, veering

into the air

in which it has no home. I believe, then,

in nothing

these words might give you, and still

I can feel them

speaking through me, as if

this alone

is what I desire, this blue

and this green, and to say

how this blue

has become for me the essence

of this green, and more than the pure

seeing of it, I want you to feel

this word

that has lived inside me

all day long, this

desire for nothing

but the day itself, and how it has grown

inside my eyes, stronger

than the word it is made of, as if

there could never be another word

that would hold me

without breaking.
