Burnish Skied
David James Miller
listening stone burnishes be
comes unknowing speech
grasses articulate recollected
skies where speech occurs
the site comes to things that
we have heard and known
⨀
afterimages sunset speech
inscapes fields burnished
under skies a listening
presence clouds recollect
in what light occurs
⨀
a presence apparent in un
knowing recollection
unmet stone articulates
⨀
site of skies occurring in
benediction where light
recollects noctilucent
⨀
skies speech burnishes become
fields afterimages inscape in un
knowing a murmuration sunset
articulates grasses burnished in
wind bridged to light speech
recollects become benediction
⨀
stone and speech become an
unknown presence grasses
articulate a burnished sky a
site things that we have
heard and known articulate
⨀
abridged grasses become fields
skies burnish in benediction
