NOON

1-7-15

BOOM!

1-8-15

One hot June day I experienced a noon

sensatiion. I was walknig country roads. As

the head's shadow almost encircled my feet & I

became concious of a perticular feeling, as if the

Zenith were singing; I noted a myriad

buttercups glittering in a heat wave-nervous

field, a thought they had just opened at noon;

I sat at the edge of a woods, & looked in through

the branches & behold the glittering blindspots

in the leaves. It was noon.

Noon - An immerse majestic forest,

almost encircled by a river, the sun beating

down -
