Missing the Cranes

You were sharp|ning grass
With your eyes | sit & fixed
Again | a substitute for mow|n
Machine chug|ging along lug
Nuts, molar friction | u - r - n .
Lawn stretches of up|beat
Beach | was there even wind?
Filet a cannonade me | see
The crayons fly | in a circle
A head | towards blu|er | stretches
There | where clouds resemble.
Light is a commodity, scream!

Silly | man | omnibus no teacher 
Not even a man. Well still: Lorine
Niedecker e|merges like new 
Breath, pulp come together
Mis|hearing cranes, a making 
Multicolor wax, bending fuse 
Forge |X| fissure for left foot |
Right foot,—we'll find a job a kind 
Of game | it’s just planes turned
Paper crane | creosote guardians
A dead lean-to shouldering volts.
