Things to see on Black Mountain

What Black Mountain poet Robert Duncan saw:

What I Saw

The white peacock roosting  
might have been Christ,

         featherd robe of Osiris,


the radiant bird, a sword-flash,

         percht in the tree


and the other,    the fumed-glass slide

       —were like night and day,


the slit of an eye opening in

         time

vertical to the horizon
