I don't have much commentary for this week's poetry selection. I honestly just opened a book on my desk and this is what I hit. It is a poem I love, though, "Keeping Things Whole," by Mark strand, and it resonates with my mood today, though I couldn't really tell you why.
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.

I like this poem.
It brings things down to a simpler level. A nice mental departure for me this week.
