He recounted how he was once rejected for a film role by a producer who said: “This part calls for a guy-next-door type. You don’t look like you’ve lived next door to anyone.”

Walking the Night Woods, Taking the Darkness

into the Cells of My Body, I Realize All I've

Ever Realized Is Words Only and, Thus,

Only Part of Who I Am


And stood in a star-sparked meadow. And heard

lost parts of myself in the barred owl's screech,

thunder in the long wood. Cutover I

walked through. Deadfall in the hardwood river

bottom. Chokecherries. Ripple-wind. Marshy

maidenhair ferns among the hummock scrub.

Said I wished I. Said words that wouldn't work.

Said and said till I broke the saying whole.

Yes, I'm a hound-blur man. Scent is the way

I speak. Rabbit-scratch. Quail boiling out

of thicket cover. Fractured word-fracture

toward the primordial pull of pre-phrase

sound. Midnight as dawn in sugar maples.

Oak. In hound-dog snout taking in the ground.
