Broken Spoke

by Mary Ruefle

You grow old. You love everybody. You forgive everyone. You think: we are all leaves dragged along by the wind. Then comes a splendid spotted yellow one — ah, distinction! And in that moment you are dragged under.

Mary Ruefle:

You grow old.

You love everybody.

You forgive everyone.

You think: we are all leaves

dragged along by the wind.

Then comes a splendid spotted

yellow one—ah, distinction!

And in that moment

you are dragged under.
