for Zenshin
“Graph” is the claw-curve, carve —
grammar a weaving
paw track, lizard-slither, tumble of
a single boulder down. Glacier scrapes across the bedrock,
wave-lines on the beach.
Saying, “this was me”
scat sign of time and mood and place
language is breath, claw, or tongue
“tongue” with all its flickers
might be a word for
hot love, and fate.
A single kiss a tiny cause [claws]
— such grand effects [text].
