Pond Song 4.28

 

Coming to be is hyperbolic happening. G&B 249

 

after hard rains high clouds__bright gulls over mudflats

hot breaths of offal and lilac__the nose distinguishes and that’s

 

metaphysics or the ground of it__this beautiful June Sunday

big bees vibrate the beach rose__heady perfume has a way

 

of intimating the ultimate__a herring gull shakes his head

ripping morsels from the ooze__the original nothing is not dead
