buona fortuna, jar

Found this on a wall in New York City, winter before last.

I've had it tacked to the wall ever since..

...Sits just to the right of me at all times...

Keeping Things Whole

mark strand

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.
