Mist
This morning
all is landscaped by mist.
North, South, East and West
are all mist-made
also mist-lost.
Faces have no features
submerged eyes
seek themselves.
We turn this way and that
listening;
a radio switches itself on.
A truck on a rolling sea
blares a distant air-horn,
both these sounds
are in the mouth of the mist.
No one can sense
their ears this morning.
We hear though,
but what we hear
is neither near or far.
for we are in the dreaming mind
of the mist,
and the world has gone
to a far shore -
we not where.
