Two Poems

Artist

sometimes my feet just walk beneath me
like a dog on their own
I don’t need to be along
anymore when I walk
I am somewhere
in a painting somewhere
-- you know
walking
some lonely kind of line.

I heard a metallic distance

like two worlds
were thinking
a renaissance
of ring sound
and beating.
I heard a metallic distance
beating for its own meaning
shaping itself
in a hot fire

100


I hear myself
in a crevice
thin
and pressed in death
a certain alloy
now
of experience
about to be
joined with rust.
I see myself
the flattest
of all awareness
thin and necessary
a representative
mass of nothing;
cooperative rubble

Painter

I don’t want to see too much
so that I talk
more than I see
I just want to see enough
to keep my eyes open to
enough stuff to walk
to keep seeing
before
no more light comes.
