Double Play by Luis
Garcia & Richard Denner

KEPT
Things kept
within myself,
roots of
water,
leaves of
water,
branches
filled with water—
and
now—
a voice of
water,
a place of
wetness
always in my
keeping.
MAYBECK
ON PANORAMIC
I’m
here
to paint
pictures.
These
bricks should look
like a
baker laid them.
If it
doesn’t look
like a
child could build it,
it isn’t.
DETAIL
IN THE DESIGN
Birds that
lay
in
Euclid’s branches
have a view
of May.
Spring
blows and sucks,
sucks and
blows
the eucal
blossom.
It’s
always ragtime,
suck and blow.
RECORDER
An
instrument of water
hidden in
the reeds—
a bull
rushes towards a bull’s eye.
A lash is
seen.
A stage is
also seen.
is set,
as if it
were a trap,
set in space.
Another
group of instruments
sings
in another
place.
