The Ecphorizer

not to be defeated, a desire
To see nothing, to be seen a yellow flower
In water in a glass.
No black-caped melancholic
Ever heard so stoic, uncomplaint
A dialect of grievance, vengeance, hearing nothing
A remorselessness.
RAY TUMBLESON describes himself thus: "I unite in myself wit, wide knowledge, & amazing incompetence in all practical matters." A Harvard graduate, he has retreated to the wilds of Oregon where the only other avocation possible is survival.

Respects buildings standing. Out of a homeless river
It draws the strength of scullers. Out of the future
It draws articulation, each day a joint,
Each memory vestigal and needed.
A decisionmaker, unlocatable,
Flies, is driven, sees two weddings in two weeks,
Decides duties. The rights of man are unverifiable.
Out of them, concrete obligation may be derived
by the intelligent and capable.
