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
