GARY SNYDER "OIL" ~

 

Oil

soft rainsqualls on the swells

south of the Bonins, late at night.  Light

from the empty mess-hall

throws back bulky shadows

of winch and fairlead

over the slanting fantail where I stand.

but for men on watch in the engine room,

the man at the wheel, the lookout in the bow,

the crew sleeps.  in cots on deck

or narrow iron bunks down drumming

passageways below.

the ship burns with a furnace heart

steam veins and copper nerves

quivers and slightly twists and always goes —

easy roll of the hull and deep

vibration of the turbine underfoot.

bearing what all these

crazed, hooked nations need:

steel plates and

long injections of pure oil.

Leaves

Inside these articulations

the beginnings of language

outside of yes and no

inside only the I want

the soul with the body meeting

in all the openly

meteoric leaves

and now, see:

one of them falls slowly

to the earth
