A thousand kinds of one colour

There’s a thousand colours here

There’s a thousand kinds of one colour here

There’s no light here

There’s light here constantly

The shadow is this long for this long

At this angle at this time here

Then there’s a levelling wind and it’s all changed

And we start again

—

There’s a thousand colours here

There’s a thousand kinds of one colour here

Left and right are inadequate here

Up and down is side to side

Round and round is all diagonals

And then there’s a levelling wind

And we start again.

Everything seems bolted in its place

But it only looks that way

So let it come. Let it go. Let it be just as it was.

There’s no need to try so hard
