Pond Song 4.57

“…flow of the overdeterminate origin in us…” G&B 262

I see out and about myself__Journal 7 January ‘57

solitary vigilant__Thoreau between earth and heaven

nature his divine other__today the pond’s brushed steel

snow crust under my stick__I’m not sure what I feel

rain spots the sketch pad__pencilled notes smeared black

what was there is not now__the bufflehead’s white back
