leaves and paper, here and not elsewhere,

thus and not otherwise.

Words are all bound up in the material of the world,
-
the stuff that gathers in the corners of a house.
-
And, moreover, they are words that are very
-
evocative, "Powers Meet," as if somehow language and leaves meeting
-
in the corner of a house signifies the various powers of the cosmos
-
coming together: "Powers Meet." "I think of you" and its anonymity,
-
its character as coming from an envelope flap,
-
the kind of piece of paper that travels from one person to another,
-
suggests a communicativeness, a general intent surrounding these
-
pieces of matter, leaves and paper.
