Not to make loss beautiful, but to make loss the place where beauty starts. Where the heart understands for the first time the nature of its journey.

I flippin’ love a good spring. Ya meet all kinds of folks down at the spring.

I met a coyote there once. Didn’t even eat me. Just gave me a paw bump and went on being mysterious. Fuckin’ cool as heck.

Anyway I think this poem is about how we all wish we could go back to before we picked a pimple until it became a big honkin’ wound on our face in middle school.

Origin of the Marble Forest
by Gregory Orr

Childhood dotted with bodies.

Let them go, let them
be ghosts.

No, I said,
make them stay, make them stone.
