I went for a walk over the dunes again this morning	A
to the sea	B
then turned right along	C
the surf	D
rounded a naked headland	E
and returned	E
	-
	-
along the inlet shore	F
	-
	-
it was muggy sunny the wind from the sea steady and high	G
crisp in the running sand	E
some breakthroughs of sun	H
but after a bit	E
	-
	-
continuous overcast	E
	-
	-
the walk liberating I was released from forms	I
from the perpendiculars	I
straight lines blocks boxes binds	I
of thought	E
into the hues shadings rises flowing bends and blends	I
of sight	E
	-
	-
I allow myself eddies of meaning	A
yield to a direction of significance	I
running	A
like a stream through the geography of my work	J
you can find	E
in my sayings	I
swerves of action	H
like the inlet's cutting edge	K
there are dunes of motion	H
organizations of grass white sandy paths of remembrance	I
in the overall wandering of mirroring mind	E
but Overall is beyond me is the sum of these events	I
I cannot draw the ledger I cannot keep the accounting	A
beyond the account	E
	-
	-
in nature there are few sharp lines there are areas of	L
primrose	I
more or less dispersed	E
disorderly orders of bayberry between the rows	I
of dunes	I
irregular swamps of reeds	I
though not reeds alone but grass bayberry yarrow all	M
predominantly reeds	I
	-
	-
I have reached no conclusions have erected no boundaries	I
shutting out and shutting in separating inside	E
from outside I have	N
drawn no lines	I
as	I
	-
	-
manifold events of sand	E
change the dune's shape that will not be the same shape	O
tomorrow	P
	-
	-
so I am willing to go along to accept	E
the becoming	A
thought to stake off no beginnings or ends establish	Q
no walls	I
	-
	-
by transitions the land falls from grassy dunes to creek	R
to undercreek but there are no lines though	P
change in that transition is clear	S
as any sharpness but sharpness spread out	E
allowed to occur over a wider range	T
than mental lines can keep	U
	-
	-
the moon was full last night today low tide was low	P
black shoals of mussels exposed to the risk	V
of air	W
and earlier of sun	H
waved in and out with the waterline waterline inexact	E
caught always in the event of change	T
a young mottled gull stood free on the shoals	I
and ate	E
to vomiting another gull squawking possession cracked a crab	X
picked out the entrails swallowed the soft shelled legs a ruddy	E
turnstone running in to snatch leftover bits	I
	-
	-
risk is full every living thing in	Y
siege the demand is life to keep life the small	M
white blacklegged egret how beautiful quietly stalks and spears	I
the shallows darts to shore	F
to stab what I couldn't	E
see against the black mudflats a frightened	E
fiddler crab	X
	-
	-
the news to my left over the dunes and	E
reeds and bayberry clumps was	I
fall thousands of tree swallows	I
gathering for flight	E
an order held	E
in constant change a congregation	H
rich with entropy nevertheless separable noticeable	Z
as one event	E
not chaos preparations for	F
flight from winter	A2
cheet cheet cheet cheet wings rifling the green clumps	I
beaks	I
at the bayberries	I
a perception full of wind flight curve	B2
sound	E
the possibility of rule as the sum of rulelessness	I
the field of action	H
with moving incalculable center	A2
	-
	-
in the smaller view order tight with shape	O
blue tiny flowers on a leafless weed carapace of crab	X
snail shell	C2
pulsations of order	A2
in the bellies of minnows orders swallowed	E
broken down transferred through membranes	I
to strengthen larger orders but in the large view no	P
lines or changeless shapes the working in and out together	A2
and against of millions of events this	I
so that I make	D2
no form of	L
formlessness	I
	-
	-
orders as summaries as outcomes of actions override	E
or in some way result not predictably seeing me gain	E2
the top of a dune	F2
the swallows	I
could take flight some other fields of bayberry	A2
could enter fall	M
berryless and there is serenity	E
	-
	-
no arranged terror no forcing of image plan	G2
or thought	E
no propaganda no humbling of reality to precept	E
	-
	-
terror pervades but is not arranged all possibilities	I
of escape open no route shut except in	Y
the sudden loss of all routes	I
	-
	-
I see narrow orders limited tightness but will	H2
not run to that easy victory	E
still around the looser wider forces work	J
I will try	A2
to fasten into order enlarging grasps of disorder widening	A
scope but enjoying the freedom that	E
Scope eludes my grasp that there is no finality of vision	H
that I have perceived nothing completely	E
that tomorrow a new walk is a new walk	I2
