Flat Rock

Alight the image of light
transporting the eucalypt
once struck set shimmying through
the frame of sight and of eye
through too the grey and scornful
dullness of that lived being
jaded in its own substance.

Not a question never a question
but a simple gesture of touching
tree to the earth and earth to the life.

Light then wrote and cut through the
illusion of movement of
self moving of the thought that
thought might set into motion
but the true authority
was the fact of the tree and
of the light and of the life.

Dog Trap

Passing a hand through the light
the projection of the light
into holding space and on
to the plane of whited screen
the light itself is substance
closed eyed it is tangible
and pulsing realized space.

First image last the memory of
memory clothing a life closest
to that moment furthest and away.

Your mind is much less real than
it was less believable
too as it throws up broken
images making and then
remaking again again
remaking experience
to prop an identity.

Grass Park

Upon the stop aligned to
flowing stream against the stream
itself co-independent
upon this stop the time streams
and is measured out knowing
sensing its own existence
feeling that it is itself.

Cold crosses from the window to skin
and sets the mind and mind’s filmy caul
covering the world and this sheer stop.

Lest we remember ourselves
balking at the unreal sought
and imagining time as
we would now have it section
by sectioned flow and flowing
inevitable to our
end which can never now come.

Crow Hill

What can be said to give it
substance and thought what can be
thought to realize it this
the passed image feigned in a
breath and this mind rises light
in semblance of a stillness
unclear that mind rises dark.

All of it spaceless netting itself
of itself and truceless entities
lovely indifferent and whole.

What entity what mind what
uncomposed material
could be grasped so and so tight
to the thought to the idea
of the world and its her life
identical with movement
identical with this time.
