shadowy gesticulations

Larry Eigner

                      shadowy

                            gesticulations

                         on the lawn


                                    young tree
                                            trunks
                                       a little in the sun

                                         leaf
                                               shapes
                                          across them too


                             beautiful

                                    the light is

                               all one way


                                     after

                                            noon

                                      where it falls


                                      most of the earth

                                             unknown

                                               to us

 

                                           clouds are idle


                                                       spaces
