AUGUST
Houses in sun
white houses yellow houses
houses in shadow
the corn ripening on weak feet
houses
knee-high grass and short-legged cows
and again
white gables in the sun
heavy trees
a gravel road eternally twining
houses fields trees
people just breathing the air
grass corn white gables
and again and again
houses cows grass cornfields trees
(there are a lot of us
breathing the blue air here and today)
colours and white gables
machine sculptures
snapshots
We have to see all of it
each house each tree each stem
see all of it at one go
from stem to stem and back again
faster
we must prevent the corn maturing
we must prevent sounds becoming sounds
we must prevent anything starting to move
we must get the sun to stand still
