1917-1935

The Age the Lightning the Hand and the Leaf

the age has arrow hands.
the age is a plant
that speaks like a naked leaf
and sets traps of white light.

the lightning grows on a naked hand.
the lightning speaks of the age without a bell
and greets the naked space
that comes from the mute light.

the hand is as white as a plant feather.
the hand is as white as an arrow leaf.
the hand carries a sleeping bell
through mute space
and alights on sleeping lightning.

the leaf is a mute hand
the leaf forgets it is sleeping.
it speaks like a naked bell
and wakes the white space
that falls into a mute trap.
the leaves exchange sleeping places.
