The house was quiet and the world was calm.
The reader became the book; and summer night
Was like the conscious being of the book.

A Day Is Vast

A day is vast.
Until noon.
Then it’s over.

Yesterday’s pondwater
braided still wet in my hair.

I don’t know what time is.

You can’t ever find it.
But you can lose it.
