Rae Armantrout

1947 / Vallejo, California / United States

The Eye

These brown piles
of stubble

hills

have failed.

They should be more



It should be difficult
but not impossible

to transmute
latitude

into a thought

a god could
hold.



Barred light:

dunes coming on
and on.



The eye, yes,
must move

to prevent
blank spots

from making themselves
known.
