I know a whale that will come to the boat whenevershe can, and nudge it gently along the bowwith her long flipper. I know several lives worth living. Listen, whatever it is you tryto do with your life, nothing will ever dazzle youlike the dreams of your body, its spiritlonging to fly while the dead-weight bones toss their dark mane and hurryback into the fields of glittering fire where everything,even the great whale,throbs with song. excerpted from the poem:HUMPBACKSMary Oliver, Cape Cod MA Paul

I know a whale that will come to the boat whenever
she can, and nudge it gently along the bow
with her long flipper.
I know several lives worth living.
Listen, whatever it is you try
to do with your life, nothing will ever dazzle you
like the dreams of your body,
its spirit
longing to fly while the dead-weight bones
toss their dark mane and hurry
back into the fields of glittering fire
where everything,
even the great whale,
throbs with song.
excerpted from the poem:
HUMPBACKS
