Unspeakable

Unspeakable is pattern of grasses

Green bends on shaded stems beneath young trees

Spacing themselves year by year to sky-seas,

That blue most soon known that daily passes.

Unspeakable mind of cat through herb pots

Up on chair, roof, walking well bent fenceline

Down again bamboo asleep head inclined

A time then off to rooms indoors sun spots.

Unspeakable clenched knucklebone and nail

Where words flow across index ledge anew

As if whole gardens spoke in line and tale,

Contrivance of grass-word leaf-word sky-word

Which is easy for me to say to you

Dear forthright reader trapped in skin, not heard.
