(Gerald Murnane: Barley Patch)
a chronicle of images
the barley patch
a row of tamarinds
an ornamental grapevine
growing over frosted
glass panels
a fishpond full of shaggy
water plants
a young woman with
slippers of orange gold
glass
his future as a
beer drinking bachelor
Glassland
where characters
live in a state of
potentiality
a country
on the far side
of fiction
