Collage

I have just been crushed by

            a purple leaf

that fell

        from a tree

that had

grown to such a

         height that

one would consider

           it unthinkable

                        to

attempt to climb

              it.

Moreover,

      there was a lumberjack

chopping away at the

                 bottom

of this tree,

         trying to fell

               it

to build

                a collage that

would resemble the

                color and

texture of his face.

(September 1965)

RHYTHM

I just walked

          through

a door

that was nailed

         closed by

iron seeds of

           a

puzzled martyr who

remains uncertain of

               his purpose as he

follows his

furrow into a

horizon that

contains

              no line,

no sun,

               no clouds.

(August 1965)
