National Poetry Month, Day 22

I looked up today's line(s) first thing in the morning, because tomorrow I have to add mine. In the background all day as I've done my work, I've been thinking about which direction to take the Progressive Poem.

But before I link you to today's lines, here's a poem. It's got landscape, April, isolation...I've read it many times, and I keep finding new things in it.

Body and Soul II
Charles Wright

(for Coleman Hawkins)

The structure of landscape is infinitesimal,
Like the structure of music,
                          seamless, invisible.
Even the rain has larger sutures.
What holds the landscape together, and what
holds music together,
Is faith, it appears - faith of the eye, faith of the ear.
Nothing like that in language,
However, clouds chugging from west to east like blossoms
Blown by the wind.
                  April, and anything's possible.

Here's the rest.   

Here are today's lines for the Progressive Poem.
