It was finally now. It was simply now. It was like this: the country was at 11:00 A.M. Superficially like a green yard of the most delicate superficiality. Green, green- green is a yard. Between myself and that green, the water of the air. The green water of the air. I see everything through a full glass. And nothing is to be heard. In the rest of the house the shadows are all swollen. Ripe superficiality. It is 11:00 A.M. in Brazil. It is now. That means exactly now. Now is time swollen to its limit. 11:00 A.M has no depth. 11:00 A.M. is full of eleven hours up to the brim of the green glass. Time quivers like a stationary balloon. The air is fertile and wheezing. Until, with a national anthem, the tolling of 11:30 cuts the balloon's restraining ropes. And suddenly we'll all reach noon. Which will be green like now.

Earthing
a poem by Karina Tynan
It's a faint groundedness,
Hard to reach not to mind touch.
Sometimes almost found
In the turn of an autumn day
When the promise of evening
Has a feeling of shelter in it
And familiarity.
The music of the news on the telly,
Maybe something frying, always the usual
Nothing special like salad or pine nuts.
A very faint groundedness like the memory
Of a love that never took shape.
