Andalusian Snapshots in November

Andalusian Snapshots in November, 2010

1.

A POMEGRANATE

A SMALL TORTOISESHELL

A POMEGRANATE 

2.

WHITEWASHED WALL

ONE GECKO

ONE PALIMPSEST

3. 

In endless, deep minutes
of penetrable transparency
I’m united with my poems in koans

while
two ink-black daytime-owl-eyes
just
stare and stare and stare
mysteriously
straight through me

Translation: David McDuff
