The Body Contemplated

Ray, 2012, by Fred Hatt

a person is a bit of this and a bit of that

fuzzy tendencies overlapping, interacting

forged and scourged in the kiln of embodied life

 

Earrings, 2012, by Fred Hatt

eyes ions, black magnetic pools

 

A la plage, 2012, by Fred Hatt

zone in on tones

undertone, overtone, midtone

let the parts fall where they may

 

Elbows & Knees, 2012, by Fred Hatt

body takes a beating just doing the day by day

 

Brooder, 2012, by Fred Hatt

why are things so

what do things mean

how do things work

 

Curvature, 2012, by Fred Hatt

a serpent grows limbs

a head aloft partakes of the clouds of heaven

as well as the dirt of the ground

 

Sleep Tight, 2012, by Fred Hatt

a stack of bones

opal tones

 

Halt, 2011, by Fred Hatt

expand, contract

concentrate, dissipate

 

Defeat, 2012, by Fred Hatt

hands ground down while forces face forward

 

Muscles of the Back, 2012, by Fred Hatt

the bones are the slowest river

the flesh, the nerves, the blood grow to flow, each in its way

life is a convulsion of matter

 

Gray, 2012, by Fred Hatt

eyes tomorrow

seated present

 

Outward & Inward, 2012, by Fred Hatt

sentry and slave

guard the grave

 

Defiant, 2012, by Fred Hatt

the body of light harbors a shade

the body of shadow contains a glow

 

Graces, 2011, by Fred Hatt

Luna Triune: wax and full and wane and new

the new of course unseen

every cycle has its way, its period, its mystery

each single season’s unique, any noise has its timbre

all is oscillation, orbs in orbit

go down long, draw in and in, only finally open out

 

Degasian, 2012, by Fred Hatt

bow, bend, lay low

tack and parry, stealthy slow

like grass grows

 

Retrospect, 2011, by Fred Hatt

space is light

matter is force

time is mind

 

Rorrim, 2012, by Fred Hatt

feeling with eyes, rove over ridges and marshes and creeks

body is topography and self is weather

sometimes stormy, often calm

 

Fine Lines, 2012, by Fred Hatt

I am made of moss and ferns

mushrooms and minnows and dim glow worms

 

Faun, 2012, by Fred Hatt

man is land

containing imagination

soil to till

seed to spill

 

Heartache, 2012, by Fred Hatt

bereft chest

abject head

trunk bent

tower leant

 

Brothers, 2012, by Fred Hatt

a man knows a man, nothing said
