I saw two eagles on
the sky
in strength stirring
protean penetrating
pure
dark tresses of the
beloved
fashioning the bright
scarves of wind.
I saw a karacal leap
dancing with air
lean grace
turning like a feather
on the wind.
Lens
of Mind
Tears drop as honey
from a jug.
Leaves fall, and sun.
I said,
I did not say:
these chameleons are
with me always.
Past's prism, future's
mirror
with present's lens
of mind form last light from dark eyes
different every time
what is there.
What is there? What
message, knowledge,
yearning chasm-vast;
regret
perhaps
perhaps
I am mistaken.
Every time the last light leaving
dark eyes
is the same
music fading from a road.
The fine fabric of distance cannot bear
it lessens and is gone.
Silence
without wind
sifting it this light is not
physics or philosophy.
I seek it like the well in the desert.
In silence.
