Soul

"One question leads to another...

Does it have a shape? Like an iceberg?
Like the eye of a hummingbird?

Does it have one lung, like the snake and the scallop?

 Why should I have it, and not the anteater
who loves her children?

Why should I have it, and not the camel?
























Come to think of it, what about maple trees?


















What about the blue iris?

What about all the little stones, sitting alone in the moonlight?








What about roses, and lemons, and their shining leaves?





















What about the grass?" - Mary Oliver
