I saw it on a morning walk
In the nearby park
Lying on its side.
A great black thing, horse sized,
...
I found it on the ground
Where the cat had dropped it
At my shout.
It lay quite still,
...
In my yard the speckled ball
Stood on thin black legs.
Resting on my hand,
A baby pheasant.
...
A black cleaver
In the tropics
Severs day from night
In one chop.
...
We talk of things
That never happened...
Possibilities of clouds of words
Print in the air in thin letters
...
The gibberings comb through
The ether fields
To bespeak electron smoke,
Comb its hair in delight and despair,
...
Helsinki cold, in February
Shakes your hand on every doorknob.
'I've been waiting here outside, ' it says,
'Please let me come in.'
...
The dream of universe
Is filled with shoals of stars
That caress
With fingers of gravity
...
The patterns of the world wash in
Across the sands of mind
And ripple through the thoughts which drift
And scatter unaligned
...
Gravity can be surprising
If examined in isolation.
Most common things, the sun rising
Becomes a celebration
...
