Contrasting sensuous regions.
Swamp and Mountain
Land and Sea

perceive the swamp
its instability:
soft,
rivers and streams overflow their banks

mountain ridges
their hardness
and stability.
small outcroppings of order
in a swampy universe.

land
relative to ocean,
an endless, alluring expanse.
not high and dry
but along the coast,
going out on the sea.

contrasting
constructions
of space
