FIVE NON-FIGURATIVE POEMS

(In homage to Kandinsky)


I
Light talks to the dark folds
of a cloak in the angle,
The angle bends the note of despondency;
beyond the angle there is a fade.

II
Considering a low horizontal zone
of humming, and a vertical Bang,
one finds the background. The image continues.

III
Some of these blue
and som of these green
have nothing between;
but others are blue
and others are green
with black in between.

IV
lt would do to spread
the darkness over here,
where the light is trying to get in
through a crack in the twilight.
The light should be confined to this corner,
where it will cause no disturbance.

V
There will be a row of ten
of the noises nothing makes
in the middle of the night,
and below that, a dark line.
