Larry Eigner

"the air"

"the air"

the air
     stirs
  in various

       parts
          what's
     going on beyond
       December trees

             a warm spell

          the local
          is
            the subtle bird

             flight
             from branch
             to road

                shadows

                            big limbs

                night
                the other side of the globe

                    among stars

                    people grow

                             or cloud

                       a mile away

                              the different hungers

                              the different hungers
