25 April Why didn't you ask me to come with you? I would have thrown everything to the winds, and would have come.

from “The Summer Day," by Mary Oliver

I don't know exactly what a prayer is. I do know how to pay attention, how to fall down into the grass, how to kneel down in the grass, how to be idle and blessed, how to stroll through the fields, which is what I have been doing all day. Tell me, what else should I have done?

"the great dark birds of history screamed..."
—Adrienne Rich

#poetry #poem #poems
IN THOSE YEARS In those years, people will say, we lost track of the meaning of we, of you we found ourselves reduced to I and the whole thing became silly, ironic, terrible: we were trying to live a personal life and, yes, that was the only life we could bear witness to But the great dark birds of history screamed and plunged into our personal weather They were headed somewhere else but their beaks and pinions drove along the shore, through the rags of fog where we stood, saying I [1991]

I wish I wrote the way I thought Obsessively Incessantly With maddening hunger I'd write to the point of suffocation I'd write myself into nervous breakdowns Manuscripts spiralling out like tentacles into abysmal nothing And I'd write about you A lot more Than I should - Benedict Smith

"Upstream" - Mary Oliver
I walk, all day, across the heaven-verging field. And whoever thinks these are worthy, breathy words I am writing down is kind. Writing is neither vibrant life nor docile artifact but a text that would put all its money on the hope of suggestion. Come with me into the field of sunflowers is a better line than anything you will find here, and the sunflowers themselves far more wonderful than any words about them.

It’s not the miles
Though there are too many of them
A long drive across empty plains
That only I undertake
It is the understanding
Of love and life and meanings
The distance between us
Is in our words
And in our feelings

everything we touch touches everything we find infinity so easily ecologies of each other we echo the mirror itself rearranging ourselves onto maps holding onto scraps of time

Write a fucking poem every fucking time you don't know what to do. You'll have a body of work despite yourself.

The number of hours we have together is actually not so large. Please linger near the door uncomfortably instead of just leaving. Please forget your scarf in my life and come back later for it.

Oh how smitten
am I
by the dwindling amethyst sky
as the blue of day
casts one last sleepy sigh
a soft smile
into the ocean's aqueous mirror and peacefully trails off
to a hushed
obsidian
night

Wild Geese by Mary Oliver You do not have to be good. You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves. Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine. Meanwhile the world goes on.
