John Murray classes week of Nov. 26, 2012

(nothing whichful about

thick big this
friendly
himself of
a boulder)nothing

mean in tenderly

whoms
of sizeless a
silence by noises
called people called

sunlight

(elsewhere flat the mechanical
itmaking
sickness of mind sprawls)
here

a living free mysterious

dreamsoul floatstands
oak by birch by maple
pine
by hemlock spruce by

tamarack(

nothing pampered puny
impatient
and nothing
ignoble

)everywhere wonder
if (touched by love’s own secret)we, like homing
through welcoming sweet miracles of air
(and joyfully all truths of wing resuming)
selves,into infinite tomorrow steer

-souls under whom flow(mountain valley forest)
a million wheres which never may become
one(wholly strange;familiar wholly)dearest
more than reality of more than dream-


how should contented fools of fact envision
the mystery of freedom?yet,among
their loud exactitudes of imprecision,
you’ll(silently alighting)and I’ll sing

while at us very deafly a most stares
colossal hoax of clocks and calendars


  
I love this poem by ee cummings and wondered if you could use it as grist for your visual mill.
See you next week, john.
