seeing
as for the first time

always


hearing
not
understanding

partial, partial


land made
manscape
random topology
pressuring to shrug out from
under man
made landscape


turning under a sky's arc flexing
itself straight
eye catch
output of a tongue
a flame
brook babbling
and stomach it
or glowing melt
                         temporarily

according to mechanic principles
till insubstantial roundness
finds catastrophic strength
flattening
space
broken by weals


air               sky

and not
a dance becoming                   music
imaginary

the sense of a
                    multitude of
creatures living out
their minute lives
this air and
                  not sky
                              dancers
including
              imaginary music
