Paired: Thompson + Strand

Self-portrait, pasture, Neponset, Il, (July 2003) by Peter Haakon Thompson | Slideshow on TMN
Keeping Things Whole
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
