To William Ricketts, Sculptor

Between the trees
a waterfall
                  of
                     light,
a stillness
bright with bubbling springs
and birdsong.
Here you stumbled
                                 on
                                    that
strange intensity
by which
the tongue-tied earth
is made articulate.
