MENTAL EXERCISES 

recover dying animal 
returning myriad bloodvessels 
         to single cell 

recover tree 
returning innumerable sprays 
         to viable seed 

recover wave of sea 
returning inexhuastible rhythms 
         to still pool 

recover mountain landscape 
returning complex folds 
         to tidal strand 

recover cracked mirror 
returning relentless reticulations 
         to original impact 

not to think in making 
makes one think

                              (1969)
