When Knocked Off Your Feet
When life’s four-by-four fence post /
blindsides you from behind /
and you find yourself cycling through /
all the stages of grief . . .
For poems are not words, after all, but fires for the gold, ropes let down to the lost, something as necessary as bread in the pockets of the hungry." - Mary Oliver, A Poetry Handbook
