Kelli Russell Agodon At Times My Body Leans Toward Loss You don't remember seeing the deer give birth on the highway, so when I said, I worry about things I can't control, you told me the pitchfork I carry in mind stabs inwards, like the day was sun-filled, but what I saw was how I bumped the planter of Gerber daisies and the moth fluttered up into the beak of a bird. Death and dinner. A minor accident and something dies. Like the woman who drove to work crying in her car and when I saw her, she waved, a reflection in the glass, the good fortune of having a job to drive to, but the collision of sadness in the left ventricle of a heart. Who can hold a knife without thinking for just a second, which vein is the most useful to slice into? Most everyone, you say, as you dull-down the ends of my pitchfork, most everyone, you say as you unlock the door to our house.
I was reading this gorgeous poem 'At Times My Body Leans Toward Loss' by @kelliagodon.bsky.social in @poetrysociety.org - winner of the Lyric Poetry Award, 2019.
Just stunning ❤️
