𝗜 𝗦𝗮𝘄 𝗛𝗲𝗿 𝗗𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 (by
Marge Piercy)
Nothing moves in a straight line,
But in arcs, epicycles, spirals and
gyres.
Nothing living grows in cubes, cones,
or rhomboids,
But we take a little here and we give
a little there,
And the wind blows right through us,
And blows the apples off the tree,
and hangs a red kite suddenly there,
And a fox comes to bite the apples
curiously,
And we change.
Or we die
And then change.
It is many as raindrops.
It is one as rain.
And we eat it, and it eats us.
And fullness is never,
And now.
