Diagnosis
I found myself out
of order and cold
like a boat in the trees,
silver and ancient.
I ought to fall
towards the shore, landing
somewhere among the reeds
like a clear fruit of water.

Multiplication
up early
like water
being myself only
(a mathematics
that I cannot understand)
being the rain coming into my house
being open
Roof music
we desire the broad
water belonging to ships—
bedtime rain
Boot
after all my hopes
alone with
an old boot
by the water
I attend to the light
Consultant
At noon the captain
would have her teach
the mathematics of evening—
the red land, the coursing water,
a moth in clear daylight
rising early.
Conquistador’s defeat
Dead, we all lose water,
of which we have so much
and represent as
that old cheat of a discovery—
men who at war eat
nothing but places.
Husbandry
Water comes
to my garden
in the finest coat
laced with rich lace.
And on the night of the fire,
all the doors in the street
dancing with light…
The world is an old wife
not seen since the wedding.
We turn a country into a cot
and not a bed.
Proverbial (13)
Sun on the water
shall never thirst.
An excellent cook took
the sacrament on his knees.
A captain forced to walk
ordered ships to carry horse.
Unbroken
In several places, the sea—
like money, the copy
of a copy. But having
no mind to break, it is
the best resort of water
on a fine still night.
Message without bottles
The water came
with letters from the land
to the air
with this fleet of ice.
Night barge
a dead man floating
on the water
Currency
I walk to the spit
to hear the water, seen
so often—
like gone money
left in a bed.
