Wild Geese

by Mary Oliver

You do not have to be good. You do not have to walk on your knees For a hundred miles through the desert, repenting. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves. Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine. Meanwhile the world goes on. Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain are moving across the landscapes, over the prairies and the deep trees, the mountains and the rivers. Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air, are heading home again. Whoever you are, no matter how lonely, the world offers itself to your imagination, calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting -- over and over announcing your place in the family of things.

textile piece sourcing info:

Diedrick Brackens (American, born 1989). when no softness came, 2019. Cotton twine and threads, acrylic yarns, polyester thread (possible), dyes, 98 1/2 × 101 1/2 in. (250.2 × 257.8 cm). Brooklyn Museum. Photo: courtesy of Various Small Fires L.A.

displayed as part of the 2021-2022 exhibit The Slipstream: Reflection, Resilience, and Resistance in the Art of Our Time.

according to the exhibit copy, the piece is "Responding, in part, to the rise of the Black Lives Matter movement and the hypervisibility of black death; Brackens sought alternative ways of understanding black bodies through acts of leisure and repose [...] Inspired by stories of historical and contemporary Black cowboys, when no softness came reimagines the trope of heroic male victors riding on horseback by illustrating a moment of respite and ease. Like many of Diedrick Brackens’s weavings, this scene of intimacy and tenderness creates personal mythologies that center queer Black identity." (x, x)
