The Intention

I used to think,

they are with me,

here is an apple,

I used to be here.

You used to drink

from the water well

when nothing was

at all the matter with

the tap, was picturesque

in being itself,

nothing at all,

and I thought,

here is occasion

to occasion it,

which stirs

with that risk.
