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.
