Words for the Weekend

Recently I have rediscovered a book called "The Poem I Turn To: Actors & Directors Present Poetry that Inspires Them". It is interesting to see what types of poetry each of the different personalities like. For this week I have chosen a poem that Mary-Louise Parker (from the TV show Weeds) included.

Keeping Things Whole

by 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 has been.

We all have reasons

for moving.

I move

to keep things whole.

Just a little something to keep your mind moving this weekend. Have a great one!!
