1.      quiet.
        downlight the swan
        gives her mood.
        frost feathers say
        yes the whole of the image is the swan
        looking toward you and away.


2.      anxious and released.
        has the film begun? where is it?
        an ember on the left edge
        struggling comically to get into the picture.
        sprung loose and broadly sailing
        kindling her air.


3.      interested.
        figure and ground
        keep rolling over.


4.      startled.


5.      physical.
        the heart of the image
        calms down.


6.      comprehensive.
        a window and 'a window'
        in a window.


7.      thinking.
        something behind us
        participates in what is in front of us.
        bits of the image
        have a flight of their own.


8.      not overwhelmed
        by how much we can see
        though it comes down thicker every second.


9.      holding still and moving.
        breathed. a light beat.
        swarm in the grain.


10.     flooding. if you stay near,
        it lifts you.
