"Get the Picture" #11

EAR

(pour les Imagistes)

Words chalked up to

experiences show thru

as if they could be simply clear not

hefting thoughts we feel by ear

in the tongue all along

the cultural fake out

of visualizability.

"Get the Picture" #10

GROW

         (for Brigid)

Dirt’s mind’s words

we grow in it that

the plant shapes:

leaf, stalk,

shoot, ear, silk, tassel,

corn—and clouds come

to talk back

what the sky says

all along.
