1. Sing:
if in pieces
we are accurate
here
the 'we' accrues

*

Green moves through
the tops of trees

and she is watching herself
shake the day's stuff off

lighter greens as each of
which includes a grey:

she wishes for a bath
some tea, clear water

and among the greys, or
beyond them, waning

she wishes for peace,
peace of god and

finely into white, there is
one white spot,

she feels calm,
without distress, still

ruhe, peace; ruhig, peaceful,
quiet

it could be an egret
or a crane
of the water
where it meets
a strip of sand
