To be whole is a part of being

poem, by 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.

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


(thank you James for posting this poem for me)

    1. But I'm trying to write more like this but I never can find the words to express the way I feel. I feel like this poem but the words seem to be hiding in me.
