Hope you feel better soon!Susan Richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11883699379179129887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4294176875047610623.post-29239978319920504522013-12-02T00:04:30.051-08:002013-12-02T00:04:30.051-08:00I think it would be a lovely poem to write, yes!

For now, there is this:To Hear the Falling World, by Jane Hirshfield<br />Only if I move my arm a certian way,<br />it comes back.<br />Or the way the light bends in the trees <br />this time of year,<br />so a scrap of sorrow, like a bird, lights on the heart.<br />I carry this in my body, seed<br />in an unswept corner, husk-encowled ad seeming safe.<br />But they guard me, these small pains, <br />from growing sure<br />of myself and perhaps forgetting.<br /><br />I think I'm going to try to write one from the perpective of having been there - seriously ill for a few months - and then 'learning' this feeling from that perspective later; only remembering it and holding that space when I have a cold, or say, a black eye.
