Myriad

One
He remembers and loves
the songs,
the nuances of the chants.
Evanescent
whittled sounds
Expansive
patterns evolving,
held down in the continuity of culture.
Suchness
without force
Suchness.
Hydra
Anger at the pond
Pulling on each palm frond,
he wields and waits
Troubled escapes between smoke breaks
Two blocks from the American River,
he asks for contemplation
in the pupil of a common goldeneye.
