from Marks and Noises

What is Name

Point, feature in a huntscape
nib of rock anomalyzing outcrop
own by others hearing, all much to surround
“that/ there” as separate call            perceiving-sound
            divide/sight            “it moves”

*

 What is West

Avid, the myth of a pull
hordes cross land sent by heavy stars
shrewd, level inside the mystic
speaking voice of presumed Exterior
Morning settling sun            Our autonomy
a spin-off into some larger parenthesis
            landshadow            the gyre
