HOW IS IT
I turn over
A new museum leaf
The light is new
And right on the spot
I was just thinking about
A fleet is about to set out
On the ocean light
Water turns to sky
And makes the eye
Blend ingredients in a bend
Shaped like an ear
A new speaker is speaking
I hear the words
They sound along
The halls of the balls
I turn to find them
As if I knew where to turn
Isn't that the sound
That's present
Isn ' t that the sound
That's gifted
Isn ' t that
something
I'd like to put upon
The walls
And take down
Take apart
And put in a mood
The instructions to which
I say aloud
