2




The plate of rice is
the incandescent nostril's edge
of a white animal, steaming in the morning field.

At times, I think the only time I've said
what I've meant is when I've said
"I don't know."

To be silent is to anticipate
loss, to know
something is already gone

, to observe white steam;
quiet breathing in someone's
dreamless sleep.
