Ruins and eagle feathers: a first word with the reader -- How to take a walk -- Paint: a moral question -- Music of light in old windows -- And God said: "Let there be red" -- Ghost under the necessary house -- Virgin on the farmall: the Venus in the Chevy -- Last insult of the glacier -- Petrified chin music -- Cutting slices out of the wind -- Towers rising from the floor of the sky -- Visible dead.
