I'm standing in the center of the photo reading from my book at a mic. On either side of me are bookshelves, and my book is on a stand on the left side of the image.

The moon drops one or two feathers into the
field.
The dark wheat listens.
Be still.
Now.

James Wright
POETRY FOUNDATION Beginning BY JAMES WRIGHT The moon drops one or two feathers into the field. The dark wheat listens. Be still. Now. There they are, the moon's young, trying Their wings. Between trees, a slender woman lifts up the lovely shadow Of her face, and now she steps into the air, now she is gone Wholly, into the air. I stand alone by an elder tree, I do not dare breathe Or move. I listen. The wheat leans back toward its own darkness, And I lean toward mine.
