“Graph” is graceful claw-curve, grammar a weaving carving
paw track, lizard-slither, tumble of a single boulder down. Glacier scrapes across Montana, wave-lines on the beach.
Saying, “we were here” scat sign of time and place
language is shit, claw, or tongue
“tongue” with all its flickers might be a word for
fucking, and fate. A single kiss a tiny cause [claws]
— such grand effects [text].
-word by Gary Snyder ‘Claws / Cause’-
久しぶりにゲーリー・スナイダーの著書を あれこれと読み返しています。 彼の詩や言葉に触れるとき僕はいつも、 自分のなかに眠り続けている《原初》の感覚が ザワザワと蘇ろうとする衝動を覚えるのでした。
