"Let us observe" - wrote this today and just finished it - it's about birds

a blueness above Castillo de los Templarios

Ponferrada, Spain

Let us observe

Let us observe only two

of the many different

shades of blueness that flow through

and sometimes stick around to

inhabit silent corners

of the big wooden room of our

consciousness, lit only by

dark blue-gold flame and old stars

within it—withdrawn from what

our organs of sense seem to

make of what they gather—the

colors the sounds and smells and

the emotional instruments

played sometimes in dissonance

sometimes in harmony and

bliss but you have to work hard

for it—this blueness—cold and

hot at once—inhabits all

eight bars open on lonely

avenue and the light strummed

into vibrations of light

from the wing-feathers of the

eastern bluebird and bowed on

strings into low frequencies

radiating rich dark blue

light from the movement across

the varied hues of early

summer green of the fleeting

iridescence of the blue—

of the deep blue—of the deep

deep blue of the indigo

bunting—you know that birds—that

even through the now of your

reading this—yes even now

birds are really the angels

of our old and deep rooted

core ignored until the now

of your reading this so you

see birds now from the core through

which we all see all things as

the disguised, masked spirits who

know blue and deep blue angels
