Poem after reading Yang Mu

Between trees, fantasies of air.

*

A sparrow pecks
at the room’s ripe

interior, as you begin

to populate a beach
from memory:

     sky’s wasteland,
     bristling sea,
     rock pools’ cogent analyses.

*
Light trudges over pale sand.

Wind-prisms shift
in the taller dunes.

*

You gather yourself,
like

a tremulous shore.

*

In the sky, a flying triangle
of birds.
