Mark Strand - Keeping Things Whole

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.

Everyone
We all
have our reasons for moving.





I move

to keep things whole.

(Albert Goldbarth "At the heart")

And so I was sentenced to life in "prison".

And because of my nature

and for their entertainment,

it became "prism".

So here I am
at the heart of the crystal.

Every day I get a new cellmate-
White Light.

I won`t do what he does.

He breaks down.
And then,... well,.. then he`s released, of course.




But changed

beyond recognition.
