Everything
by A.R. Ammons
You came one day and
as usual in such matters
significance filled everything–
your eyes, the way you turned,
leaned, stood, or sat,
this way or that: when
you left, the area around here rose
a tilted tide, and everything that
offers desolation drained away.
Beautiful beautiful words.
My daughter shared this with me.
I am so grateful.
