I hear a little Ammons in 'dust-blind.' '[T]he almond trees shed their blossoms' is probably a poem all by itself. The diction and everything is carefully given. '[R]arify / the casings of air.' Beautifully done. And I'm curious about what part of the world the photo comes from.

Having read these, I feel the need for a quiet window to look out of with no sense of time. Beautifully restrained.
