Description

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.
