the shape of a deer
from the surrounding moor

within the deer
an embarrassment of content
had risen to the surface

For the sword outwears its sheath,
And the soul wears out the breast,
And the heart must pause to breathe,

A Landscape Longed For: The Garden as Disturbance expressly reminds one that shared human histories of time and place are imbedded in the dirt.
