no complaints, amidst the deep babble ... barely a move 
   against the cruelty of the mind with its single moving parts, 
as cruel as that which yields and bends 
     for false belief.  take us out to the rocks.  stake us in the
cold - clear and unnamed. 
                                            look up from your scraps

no music without silence ... the fall leaves on the willow appear 
as fish in a stream (strong, south wind - silver bellies, or

stars, I thought ... these slight occupations, as experts poke 
       at phones, recommend the proper tests, tape their clapper bells
