Poetry DNA Retina, or "all like earth"


All the poems for the past three years, all the words, 36 thousand 5 hundred and 39 plus of them, each one an eyeball of time, a species of momentary flashdrive on the retina of the heart of the world, form an all-seeing eye, for which EARTH is the pupil, the black hole of knowing and from which i can see everything clearly now

these are the refrigerator magnets of my perception and locution...

****

all like earth
a meta-poem

long time moon
body open
night rain making
healing rock | old life
long time moon
days again moon words
river space | hands dance
cloud take light
now come, like life

like through the heart,
one space more for
dark, kind, world poems:
people's bodies need the moon.

dream | poem | breath | fire
water knowing | wind sense
now walk, come cloud
the small blue year
(first full song before ocean)
(take light heart, air)
the small blue year
KNOWS
ALL ABOUT
something between creation:
LIKE LIFE THROUGH EARTH

put your poems together and see your world... e.g. www.worditout.com or another recommended of the many word cloud generators

From eyeball earth

"From eyeball earth"

--After Gertrude Stein


The trouble in both eyes
does not come from
the same symmetrical carpet,
it comes from there being no more
disturbance than in
little paper.


one FIELD is the over-arch
of dark endless-out sky,
all to all going out to dark lighting
onward there, just there,
nothing else but everything

one OBJECT is ground,
a ground,
self-thing,
created thing,
flat pavement, runway,
machine,
moving machine,
distant whirling of
light machines

one LAYER is reflective
bounce of light on air,
masking both
field and object:
someone approaches--their image
in light traces on glass,
words on a sign
HTOUM OTAMOT YHW
some mechanical shadow of
a mechanism

and then there's
one other SOMETHING...

an aspect I can't sense to name--
the witnessing-ness
the earthing thing,
the hold that releases this,
some kind of verb,
some kind of numberless

Prompt: Earth Eye, Globe-Eye, World Vision

What if our eyes are small globes, the earth holographically embedded in our eyes? Write as if you are seeing through the point of view of the Earth inside. Your eye is the globe, what do you see? What is the vision of Earth?
