In a field
I am the absence
of field.
This is
always the case.
Wherever I am
I am what is missing.

When I walk
I part the air
and always
the air moves in   
to fill the spaces
where my body’s been.

We all have reasons
for moving.
I move
to keep things whole.

Mark Strand - Agotamiento al atardecer

Versión: Isaías Garde

El corazón vacío llega a casa después de un día atareado en la oficina. Y qué va a hacer el corazón vacío sino vaciarse del vacío.

If any of you were at that Louise Glück online reading I posted about earlier & like me are now curious about the Mark Strand book of prose poems she mentioned ('Almost Invisible'), here is an extract from it I found online

"Nothing will tell you where you are,
Each moment is a place you've never been."
