Landscape

Posted on November 22, 2019 by robert okaji

Landscape

Utterance
within the parameters set
by form

expressionless
save motion

the lone branch
brought to the fore
and in the distance

stock ponds collecting rain

the word is
forget, as in the imperative
as in function, as in

you must have

“Utterance within the parameters set by form…”: that line isolated is a perfectly poetic way to describe musical instruments.
