A friend of mine recommended "Being Home," a book of poems by Gunilla Norris. It is absolutely stunning.
Here's one I love:
Opening the Window
The window slides down on its track -
swings open on its hinge -
rises like the skylight. In comes the air,
rushing! Suddenly inside and outside are one.
This happens too fast for evaluation.
Already, before thought,
I am smelling winter...
cold wet earth and something
astringently joyous. I am feeling winter.
It is a blue cold. I am struck by it
...wakened...gladdened.
Please open me like this window to the joy
that is always right here, beyond thought.
Help me feel that cruel-to-my-ego,
infallible love that fills me with fresh air.
Jolt me open to joy.
XOXO, Libbie
