I will never....

I will never apologize for being me, but I will apologize for the times that I am not.

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."

~   Mark Strand, “KEEPING THINGS WHOLE”

I HAVE GOTTEN
FROM THERE TO
HERE."
