Meadow Bridge
There might be working some kind of throwaway
Meditation on Being, just
From what I am looking at
Right here. I can’t tell, myself. But it may already have happened
When I batted my eye —
a new fix
Of sun lined out, squaring off: a fresh
Steel bridge,
exactly true
To a crosscut of starkness
And silver.
Tell me: why do I want
To put over it, the right hand drawing
Inexhaustibly drawing
out of the left, a vibration
Of threads? This also, beholders,
Is a fact, gauze
Burns off,
keeps coming: the bridge breaks through anything
I can pull from my hand. No matter how I brim, there is
No softening.
Field, what hope?
