Where to strike when work is home?
A persistent little voice that says,
get out, get out —

Notes:
I am always watching
the single heron at its place
alone at water, its open eye…
without seeming to move…
The bird is more beautiful
than my hand, skin more graceful
than my foot, my own dark eye…
— Linda Hogan, from “The Heron” in “Rounding the Human Corners”
