The blueness envelopes the greenness, the blackness
penetrates the blueness from beyond. I will show you
salmon against time and the river, against cormorant
and osprey, against the crane that darkens the world
upon changing to another rock. A skinny fox swam
across the river to farmyards on the other side. A bee
fell silent when I was in a chapel, and the silence was
noisier than the humming. And a church on the river
says, Come from the east and the west, everything is
ready. Come away from the truth of the silence in the
chapel, come away from the truth of the skinny fox,
come away from the truth of the waiting birds.
