Poems

The Cold of Poetry

Myopia

green grass – apparently
green – it has imperfect tension

I can blank my mind
only incompletely for visible life

thoughtless solidarity – that picture of postlife
and thoughtless solitude as a picture of this one

transcendence is as flat as paint on space

 

( Lyn Hejinian. The Cold of Poetry. Los Angeles: Sun & Moon, 1994. 87-88.)
