Photograph of me from the back, walking on a path towards the sunrise with fog on the ground

Photograph of me from the back, walking on a path towards the sunrise with fog on the ground

spring field at daybreak
the silence between two steps
wider than the path

i thought

that silence

was empty

but it is full

of small continuings

seed head

in wind

light

on standing water

the far sound

of wings

and my old error

of believing

that what does not

speak

can not answer

all morning

the light

has been arriving

without hurry

over the field

over the creek

over the old fence

and the small flowers

no one planted

everything

receiving it

for a while

everything

letting it go

this may be

the only wisdom

the day

is willing

to offer

after speaking

the room

a slight pressure
where her voice had been

air remembering
its shape

outside

the galaxies
continuing
their slow
unwritten
liturgies

light traveling

ages

to arrive

here

on the

window

the way in

walking here

it occurs

that the path

may not be

through the field

but through

the moment

that opens

and closes

without asking

a gate

made of air

the grass

still doing

its old work

of being

green

and not

remembering

how it got there

i step

and the world

steps with me

not forward

not back

only

further

in

unsaid

the moon tonight

no farther

between
two words

never said

the stone
keeps weather

names soften
under rain

but somewhere
the voice that spoke them

is still
crossing the air

like wind
through grass

no one planted

first

a word

to hold
the river

then

another

for the sky

and another

for the bird
crossing it

soon

the air
is full

of words

but the river
keeps going

the bird
already

gone

the sky

wider

than the sentence

trying

to follow

now

only

wind

in the grass

listening

still

the same sky

the river
carries
the same sky

past
the place
we once stood

grass
over the memory

wind
over the grass

somewhere
we are still
passing

The Conjecture of Wolves 

in the snow
the wolves are not wolves at first
but a conjecture of moving shadows
an argument the night makes

i remember
or invent
a book
in which every footprint is a letter
and the whole meadow a page
that refuses to keep its text

the pack crosses the white 
like a single thought
divided into bodies
as if multiplicity were only a trick
the mind employs
to avoid its own solitude

each breath is a brief fog
erased as it appears

memory too
a tracker in the dark
following a scent without a name

if i were another man
or this man in another winter
i might say the wolves are hunger
or fate
or the old logic of blood

but tonight they are something quieter

a moving form of time
a sentence without punctuation
that will not stop for my meaning

the moon cold and exact
as a coin offered to charon
pretends to be a witness

the trees hold their black signatures
over the page

when the wolves vanish into the pines
the field remains immaculate
and yet altered
as if the world had been read aloud
and the reader closing the book
left no mark
except the faint knowledge
that it would be read again

after the word

evening
arrived whole

no edges
to correct

no meaning
to defend

the river
continued

flowing
without grammar

wind
without argument

and our hands

rested in the grass

the river kept going

under the bridge
under the word
under the news

under the long sentence
we were learning to say

it did not divide

it only moved
