Your name is, friend, November. Sun,
And what you hear is time,

sent between the days to measure
song and light, between the

song, a line into these destina-

move inside your moving and

same arising to flesh the body,

beginnings are not strange; the
way begins in markings from

In the same way all ways moving

line, a spot, fold & claim, to hear these
resonances, known or bounded by the line’s

time & swept ahead to no beginning, but
thrust clean, to move throughout the same

way moving, here, love’s eye shortens say-
ing & blows wooden & precise, your own

motive: crown & song, any word uttered, a
loop, lingering to hold or sentenced, shift.

A face, then, your own, where acts reflect
reflection, and perfect these drones to

their own summaries. Loomed out, held to
spoke. Shrine & tomb, the heart’s term:

and cleared away, a woods, tactic of the
thing seen, where it sleeps & turns, leapt

out to hold time suddenly, pushed, left, the
color blue, fold, air, sense of the due

behavior, but name, long & lunging, groped

The cold day moves sun to string
these loops of taste & sense,

the way of words are new these
loops regained again to show

Room, the day of taking-out, a

tone of bound edges, blue & loomed;

Crest or fume, the loose moons kips

crowns the peer of these scatterings,
a room away & kept close to
hold & grow, again, your heart.

126

the eyes, then, bring us round, and
where we are is no beginning, but

thrown out, where we are, at some
occasion for beginning. And who

we are is also new; these elocutions
are not sudden but rehearsed, it

is our lives we have before us, to
some solitudes thrust or cast, and

often: these hearts are also new: this
air becomes our own, and where

this sentencing unwinds, there we
have also arrived, folded &

spun, sent to some meeting with
-out penetration, only some causes

withering with destination and word.
And where we are also followed,

There we are made into this arriving;
at some hedges thrust, song and

name, at some resolution burst, in
some particular thriving, and lost

to it, emptied of ourselves in
the world of this beginning,

and cleared to these new beginnings
by being made : alert, particular

and known. Where we are is home.
this world is clearly sudden, clear.

127

Line away, and spend among these
presences alert to this : settle in & hold,

the way is cleared, and in position comes the
resting, weaving claim : spin to hold and

128

And term a line, inside and spoke, the

of light, clear in its disturbances, to tell

these numbers, also heard, where we meet
in these darkened shadows, and heard.

Which line suspends the same light depended
in some particular destination of the

air, and loomed out away to hold this
simple night seen outspent to lean

out to hold the line between meetings,

but left aside and in some time removed
to these particulars of the ear’s moods.

Room. Sway the yield astir, & term, calm,
the open fragments subside : out to term,

these articles of means, and what is
waiting but this specific proof of eyes,

then, and cleared away outside to hold
the line to light’s beginning in the heart,

and love’s eye surrounded, then, and

the ocean, dredged, sucked, drilled,

to disturb out at the line, undisturbed.

Whereas, then, a line is made, termed
throughout these airs remiss to send.

And lined among the senses, at these
stirs to loom there as spent, whole.

The flood, moved or mood, as air revolves

The line, as time becomes the post to
hold sway or airing along the time.

Loops at term & song: these wills subside,

Life’s openings permit; thrown along, the rush
begins in light’s review, posture & tale,

another overt pool, and sent the same way, out

noises, again, simple, statute
& claim, we move throughout a

day of, night of growth and light,
love doubled out along the moon.

But hold, you are the same way, alert.
Mold. Loop of day regained, then, &

some recollection simple & termed
away, met, loaf of particular ice.

show, then, where some angular
shapes recall doubt’s redoubt,

or love’s eases cast alert & simple.
Wharf, doom, love’s new airs, are.

Light’s time arrives, thorough, mute, a
roughed hue of singular terms, précised,

the eloquent gestures forbid terminal song:
but if she leaves or stays, no matter, there

are others, and what one seeks, to mate, I’m
presence, not drama, and what subsides

then, is not sympathy but pressure, and
the emptiness of love’s name is beginning,

no nouns interfere, but yield, then, and a
fragile eloquence submits us toward

our others, business, or who we are in
some community of acts, seeker & song:

relief to thorough terms. Drift & spell.
you would relax and open your

legs to yourself, then, & plunge on in,
reef & claw, the rough airs decide,

and pool these open restrictions to some
continents. Cool-out, then, & leap to

the other shore, that what is spoke
is also thought, & long enough to

be sufficient, you know the rest,
attired, then, from simple claim

met, spun, woolen, a fringe of doubts,
and sullen, skipped, wrapped from

evening’s sensations, keep me well or
leave, and alone, the rest rests

Loop resigned, or told, heart upon the line,
and where there is nothing, then, substance

permits, omits, occludes, but heaves
through to hold, term & line, to light

alight these songs : spun, won, out to
these alert sentences who we are,

skipped a beat & beaten : held & slipped
up to leave the air aside & filled,

yr hand, seeded & sent, dream to
dream, then, but felt, slid, sent

from trip to scene, awry at storm
& toss, looped out & showered,

how the eye permits, pleasure &
song throughout the same isolation,

even among these airs; loop to mood,
and held, a rod to leaf away &

throw, thrust, strung out, leaped at
these hollow rooms we inhabit,

& rhythm doubled hand over hand,
jerked, rubbed, gloved by the eye’s

telling, but if she’s willing, perhaps,
too, she is empty, made so by

this gentleness of withdrawal, tenor &
claim, as one is made to be these

moments of life, might there be, too,
a play & room, air of, night of, love.
