Concerning the Book That Is the Body of the Beloved
I like poetry, but I very rarely find poetry that I like.
... hmmm ... the structure of that sentence is very much like the structure of my life. For example, I could substitute "love" for "like" and substitute any number of things for "poetry"...
Anyway, I have just found a poem that I like very very much: Concerning the Book That Is the Body of the Beloved by Gregory Orr
Why do I like it? It speaks to me of all the important things: life, love, death...loss. And it speaks in a way that resonates.
