(单词翻译:双击或拖选)

by Amy Clampitt

A vagueness comes over everything，

as though proving color and contour

alike dispensable： the lighthouse

extinct， the islands' spruce-tips

drunk up like milk in the

universal emulsion； houses

reverting¹ into the lost

and forgotten； granite²

subsumed， a rumor³

in a mumble⁴ of ocean.

definition， however， has not been

totally banished⁶： hanging

tassel⁷ by tassel， panicled

foxtail and needlegrass，

dropseed， furred hawkweed，

and last season's rose-hips

are vested in silenced

chimes of the finest，

clearest sea-crystal.

opens up rooms， a showcase

for the hueless⁹ moonflower

corolla， as Georgia

O'Keefe might have seen it，

of foghorns¹⁰； the nodding

campanula of bell buoys¹¹；

the ticking， linear

filigree¹² of bird voices.
