At the balance, a cool

garden's trail, from
familiar enemies encouraged,
to be familiar as they come

old names are changes
old men, we welcome you

retreating,

feathered in silence like

H U M A N S P E E C H / human speech


To be so/there are limits
Beginning a series, as
enactment/ to start
my hair over again
encounter mechanics
to see how it
works over & over
to chart to make
it known
language:

I have this forest, thanks. The
naming blue, these names in blue indigo,
like wrinkles weaving, like sun diminished
like belief panting: three passing days,
even without time, where
God waits,
as meditation as diminished sun, as music:
where air floats in lumps of tan & blue

Oh, be overt, be leaved, in hued
slightness: where air believes. Where
my flesh melts, where series starts,

at central positioning, where motion
heats at the clarity of doing
expostulated
you are air too
you are walking up the poles
you are waving your pants in rope & twine
you are colored glass
you are heaving bags
I have these ears wrinkled
the moon goes down, and air goes

In the beginnings of word, where the throat
goes in, and heats its wood, there the three men lie.
Tied like life to each other, by chords of sense
and enemies of density: It is another new thought,
and we have shared its likeliness
too easily
and begin after that

Soto knows everything: he told
us to wait, and pass gold or nostrils like passes,
over the words, to crawl into the skin's plastic,
I am in the air again, Ah!
AS IF
as

* * *

I have my soundings down, and air pumping through my heart,
collapsing at the walls, and following my mind,
as my flesh melts to these world/words
these wall worlds, these word worlds of
a words-worth, to *that*, OK,

I'll let you have that, yeh, as to
I'll tell you what

Get this down smoothly, to repeat it over,

Ah, her spool to be so loose (phase 1)
I sing her name, to be loose,
in plastic never, where it goes, as it goes, like the wind,
or colored classics, printed in my hair,
having color to be printed,
ah, the woods,

I left my muscles waiting, in the words,
