White fog lifting falling on mountain browA
Trees moving in rivers of windB
The clouds ariseC
as on a wave gigantic eddy lifting mistD
above teeming ferns exquisitely swayedE
along a green cragF
glimpsed thru mullioned glass in valley raineG
-
-
Bardic O Self Visitacione tell naughtH
but what seen by one man in a vale in AlbionI
of the folk whose physical sciences end in EcologyJ
the wisdom of earthly relationsK
of mouths eyes interknit ten centuries visibleL
orchards of mind language manifest humanI
of the satanic thistle that raises its horned symmetryJ
flowering above sister grass daisies pink tinyJ
bloomlets angelic as lightbulbsM
-
-
Remember miles from London s symmetrical thorned towerN
network of TV pictures flashing bearded your SelfO
the lambs on the tree nooked hillside this day bleatingF
heard in Blake s old ear the silent thought of Wordsworth in eld StillnessP
clouds passing through skeleton arches of Tintern AbbeyJ
Bard Nameless as the Vast babble to VastnessP
-
-
All the Valley quivered one extended motion windB
undulating on mossy hillsQ
a giant wash that sank white fog delicately down red runnelsR
on the mountainsideS
whose leaf branch tendrils moved aswayT
in granitic undertow downU
and lifted the floating Nebulous upward and lifted the arms of the treesV
and lifted the grasses an instant in balanceW
and lifted the lambs to hold stillX
and lifted the green of the hill in one solemn waveY
-
-
A solid mass of Heaven mist infused ebbs thru the valeZ
a wavelet of Immensity lapping gigantic through Llanthony ValleyJ
the length of all England valley upon valley under Heaven s oceanI
tonned with cloud hangF
Heaven balanced on a grassbladeS
Roar of the mountain wind slow sigh of the bodyS
One Being on the mountainside stirring gentlyS
Exquisite scales trembling everywhere in balanceW
one motion thru the cloudy sky floor shifting on the million feet of daisiesV
one Majesty the motion that stirred wet grass quiveringF
to the farthest tendril of white fog poured downU
through shivering flowers on the mountain s headS
-
-
No imperfection in the budded mountainI
Valleys breathe heaven and earth move togetherN
daisies push inches of yellow air vegetables trembleL
grass shimmers greenA2
sheep speckle the mountainside revolving their jaws with empty eyesC
horses dance in the warm rainG
tree lined canals network live farmlandS
blueberries fringe stone walls on hawthorn d hillsQ
pheasants croak on meadows haired with fernB2
-
-
Out out on the hillside into the ocean sound into delicate gusts of wet airC2
Fall on the ground O great Wetness O Mother No harm on your bodyS
Stare close no imperfection in the grassD2
each flower Buddha eye repeating the storyS
myriad formedS
Kneel before the foxglove raising green buds mauve bells droppedS
doubled down the stem trembling antennaeS
look in the eyes of the branded lambs that stareC2
breathing stockstill under dripping hawthornE2
I lay down mixing my beard with the wet hair of the mountainsideS
smelling the brown vagina moist ground harmlessP
tasting the violet thistle hair sweetnessP
One being so balanced so vast that its softest breathF2
moves every floweret in the stillness on the valley floorG2
trembles lamb hair hung gossamer rain beaded in the grassD2
lifts trees on their roots birds in the great draughtS
hiding their strength in the rain bearing same weightS
-
-
Groan thru breast and neck a great Oh to earth heartS
Calling our Presence togetherN
The great secret is no secretS
Senses fit the windsH2
Visible is visibleL
rain mist curtains wave through the bearded valeZ
gray atoms wet the wind s kabbalaZ
Crosslegged on a rock in dusk rainG
rubber booted in soft grass mind movelessH2
breath trembles in white daisies by the roadsideS
Heaven breath and my own symmetricF
Airs wavering thru antlered green fernB2
drawn in my navel same breath as breathes thru Capel Y FfnB2
Sounds of Aleph and AumI2
through forests of gristleZ
my skull and Lord Hereford s Knob equalZ
All Albion oneB2
-
-
What did I notice Particulars TheJ2
vision of the great One is myriadS
smoke curls upward from ashtrayK2
house fire burned lowZ
The night still wet moody black heavenB2
starlessH2
upward in motion with wet windS
