Borrowed Trouble: Micro Tribute to Mary Oliver (1935-2019)
I wouldn’t write at all if it weren’t
for myriad writers before me whose works showed me what was possible. The poems
of this series are small offerings of respect, of thanks, to those muses. –

Mary Oliver
Shaking off the river
the dog disappears
leaving behind only
splashes
of mud to remind
us
of everything
deeply moving then
suddenly
missing from this
life.
