Good Poetry makes
The universe
Admit a secret:

"I am really just
A tambourine,
Grab hold,
Play me against
Your warm
thigh."

“Keeping Things Whole” By Mark Strand


In a field
I am the absence
of field.
This is
always the case.
Wherever I am
I am what is missing.

When I walk
I part the air
and always
the air moves in
to fill the spaces
where my body’s been.

We all have reasons
for moving.
I move to keep things whole.
