Bays 03:36
As I rise, I can make them obey Then I thought, I could see Deadman's Bay Now I know it's just Freshwater Just another germ wandering serrations I'm not a conqueror of shores I'm just a surveyor of bays
2.
Alders 02:53
Chore-worn hands work this branch into a new, crude instrument. As the branch dries, the whistle will not sound; a summer when I learned decay's okay. Chore-worn hands tremble as they clutch a pine-wood cane--stoic and coniferous. And as I make my way back to town, thoughts stay buried where alders grow. My friend entropy, always there for me. What knows it's naught, it begins to rot. Strive to be like you--stoic and coniferous.
3.
War 03:51
What derelict, and handsome guns you've all turned out to be I love life as I love you: I know it doesn't need need me What derelict, and lowly sons you've all grown up to be I hate life as I hate you: I don't know that you don't need me Longing to be ecstatically placated, mercifully empty
4.
Sun 04:18
A long, long time ago (not so long for me) Winter in Labrador: Today is Polly's turn to go fetch lamp oil from Solomon Pike Not enough hours in the day? Long, long ago, days were shorter still Turn now and go back the way you came Do you not see the length of the spruces' shadows?
5.
Labyrinths 03:12
I'm sure I passed this fork before, and daylight's fading fast Amazed by this maze, (or mazes?) The best are never one Situation or disposition? Your being lost is superstition Find your way in your own time
6.
Starling 02:39
October sun on the alders where they perch Darling starling takes flight despite the breeze Dispenses with the self with utmost ease Darling starling takes flight despite the breeze disappears behind the hill where I can't see It reappears (or does it?): a brand new starling to me.
7.
Cavern 05:12
Anechoic abyss What sounds just like this? Panechoic bliss I resist to dismiss Unempathetic chamber Imagined commisery [sic] Camouflage of echoes Just to lose the real me Gulls are patient Flies are patient Ocean is is most patient of all things
8.
Cliffs 05:16
Their patience is indifference Cliffs are just walls after all Go tell that to the hills Stern silence presides relieved only by violence done to shallow recollection-- the anguish that he couldn't fall nearly fast enough (a certain shade of meaning: not to fall, but to sink) Fall
9.
Fog 03:58
No cause for alarm It doesn't mean you harm It never fail to charm with obfuscation of features It plays, it hesitates to erase, to dissolve Then with a firm resolve it devours the horizon
