So moving, and such poignant ideas. This poem will stick with me as will Victoria's Only Poems interview this week and my quiet whoa on all, especially when she says. "I've always had a very close relationship with humility"--this struck me deeply as both such a beautiful way of being, and so clearly true for her as shown thru this poem, all her work actually. Such a gift to me, to us all. Thank you
She is so so good. I was just reading from Obit and The Trees Witness Everything and thinking this...and boom, here she is.
"the body leaves, but the years stay."
Love this!
Oh my god, this poem. I'd say "my heart" but I think it went straight to my bones.

Yes, Tara! That spoke to me as well.
Thank you, Tara! I loved her responses a lot.
