if you looked for it: bronze-green perch in a mute river.
Peat smoke rising from soundless kindling.
Rain falling on leaves and iron, making no noise at all.
NEW AND SELECTED POEMS (1965-2006)By David Shapiro Overlook. 269 pp. Paperback, $21.95

like an ordinary light.
Dependent and dismal by turns,
he is a nominalist
