Have You Ever Tried to Enter the Long Black Branches – Best Poems
by Mary Oliver Have you ever tried to enter the long black branches of other lives — tried to imagine what the crisp fringes, full of honey, hanging from the branches of the young locust trees, in early morning, feel like? Do you think this world was only an entertainment for you? Never to enter the sea and notice how the water divides
Blossom Poem
In April the ponds open like black blossoms, the moon swims in every one; there’s fire everywhere: frogs shouting their desire, their satisfaction. What we know: that time chops at us all like an iron hoe, that death is a state of paralysis. What we long for: joy before death, nights in the swale – everything else can wait but not this thrust from the root of the body.

Remembering Mary Oliver: The Poetics of Grieving and Comfort
