Day after day this summer’s rain keeps them from setting up our tombstone let us stay home together my love and not know as the rain does not know where it came from and the sea that is all around us does not know its beginning

And then there was only this story. It followed me home

and entered my house— a difficult guest with a single tune

which it hums all day and through the night— slowly or briskly, it doesn’t matter,

it sounds like a river leaping and falling; it sounds like a body falling apart.

—Mary Oliver, from “Night and the River,” Red Bird (Beacon Press, 2008)
