I was suddenly
required to be
like my soul:



the growth of
experience can
motion itself



the single
engaging
principle



our aloneness
who we are
that it is landscape



is it conceivable
& so be responsible



with what
each of us is
his or her job



and enable
that simplest
one



the widest places
where man began
do you begin



a common weed
of blue secretes
the study of this



precise answers
transformed by
dooryard plants



something
we could not have had



the fact
of scholarship
my point is otherwise



by
already
no further



red ochre
as they lived



turning to
abstractions
the pattern on the cow



I have planned
a fable



anything
one specific



wise men
I remember
they sat down



always
the most beautiful
since



the internal environment
of ourselves



we think
the hard
in



you might think
I had gone soft
instead



you are
ungraspable



the natural
so complex
but



in this
engaging
I ask you:



for a moment think
these muscles & legs



measured
who I am
if you like



his careful
personal garden
that confusion



not at all
and every



that each
prevented
the same



the climate
of our being



of those
like what
from your



leave us
the soul



any
proper
working



decisively
to lay before
