Appro­ba­tions 565

—after Trygve Seim’s Between

 

 

 

Between stare                          stare

            blank

opac­ity

            resembles

much

of the broken

                        semblances

cul­ture con­tains, intan­gi­ble mores

                                                                        focused

finite and inex­plic­a­bly distant

from con­sis­tent virtues of

ital­i­cized

                        beau monde.

 

 

Appro­ba­tions 566

—after Marc Johnson’s Since you Asked

 

 

 

My silence recalls bland-​​tongue

            architecture,

                                    achromatic

logic con­tain­ing

prayer­ful condi­ments, muti­lated con­nec­tion.  Your asking

con­tains metaphoric trails, my stand­ing still

of an oaks’ neigh­bor­hood of size, style—

 

rean­a­lyzes your truth of com­mit­ted understanding.

            The ideal

would be con­ver­sa­tion occurrence

                                    coun­ter­ing the silence

my sound releases

                        broken

con­fused mean­ing of my mind’s innate sepulture.

 

 

Appro­ba­tions 567

—after Bobo Stenson’s Olivia

 

 

 

Wears inter­wo­ven light like shadows

climb­ing con­tex­tual walls of needed

iso­la­tion.  Her

                        alone

retrieves an image of pale, bleached stone

engrained into sand’s warmed appre­ci­a­tion, resting,

 

the curved lightness

of smoothed exterior

does not wish to wan­der into sea’s lan­guage of

unsolved labyrinth.
