I look for the way
 things will turn
 out spiralling from a center,
 the shape
 things will take to come forth in
so that the birch tree white
 touched black at branches
 will stand out
 wind-glittering
 totally its apparent self:
I look for the forms
 things want to come as
from what black wells of possibility,
 how a thing will
 unfold:
not the shape on paper — though
 that, too — but the
 uninterfering means on paper:
not so much looking for the shape
 as being available
 to any shape that may be
 summoning itself
 through me
 from the self not mine but ours.
