Three parts of a longer poem by George Albon, from his book Thousands Count Out Loud:

He reassured
himself with

the smallest,
the almost

unborn thought.
It held a

center that
harpies clawed.

*

It is going
between (the bus).

Part of me
will actually

miss this
music.

A gust of
wind like gale.

*

Waking,
life,

& white
shines out

from the blue
sky with

a sound in
it, window.

These put me in mind of the summeriness of today: clear moving air, with lots of blue and white in it. These poems come via: Overlap: Drew Gardner’s Blog.

And the title of Albon’s book, Thousands Count Out Loud is, I am sure, taken from Gertrude Stein’s A Grammerian:

Thousands count out loud.
The way thousands count out loud they do it with moving their lips.
Made a mountain out of.
Now this is perfectly a description of an emplacement.
If you think of grammar as a part.
Can one reduce grammar to one.
One two three all out but she

Which I found quoted in a long essay about Stein’s creative non-fiction.
