Fifth Day Of Virgo  /38

 

This once as mine

calls together in line,

     Tells from being quickly

     closed all snow,

Saw and growing green the

answer chose to know.

 

Quietly then to see

what's known of hills under

     grass or pushed above

     clouds too soon before night

by being told in

a winter's tale from

     under the open window flow

     cold centuries grow.

 

On the fifth day of Virgo

 

Longer than who owns who,

all held and know: 

   likeness in likeness, 

   then whispers,

 

"time to go".

 

 

38.

    This is the view that Jack Kerouac had every morning while stationed on Desolation Lookout, on the north bank of Ross Lake; Hozamen Mountain, the "Old Man" who watches, the solid Zen open door to the North through which Jack departed on his way to Mexico! Hope you like the photo.

  Metaphor  /11   The voice of the river names itself, then turns another bend   toward closing stillness; ocean's pine box where noise becomes music and sound becomes the dryness of loose leaves seeking a lee.   I felt myself flow then: the tumble in a kind of dream and reached toward the pool quiet grave   passing out of reach like a stick turning on the river  past out-stretched arms.    The river is a metaphor but so is the grave.   11.
