ON PERIOD INSTRUMENTS

Outstretched—and long
as it knows how

to get, one knotty tree
branch
has snagged a furious black
trash bag.

On the ground and in
headphones, I
can just
see the whole

little system rippling—perceiving
in the raging

no maxims
at all—but great
texture!—these two dumb things

doing their furious
dense damnedest!
with absolutely no net-

result hanging
in the balance—now that's

what I'd—
call



harmonic structure.
