Poetry break

“Oxygen 

Everything needs it: bone, muscles, and even, 
while it calls the earth its home, the soul. 
So the merciful, noisy machine 

stands in our house working away in its 
lung-like voice. I hear it as I kneel 
before the fire, stirring with a 

stick of iron, letting the logs 
lie more loosely. You, in the upstairs room, 
are in your usual position, leaning on your 

right shoulder which aches 
all day. You are breathing 
patiently; it is a 

beautiful sound. It is 
your life, which is so close 
to my own that I would not know 

where to drop the knife of 
separation. And what does this have to do 
with love, except 

everything? Now the fire rises 
and offers a dozen, singing, deep-red 
roses of flame. Then it settles 

to quietude, or maybe gratitude, as it feeds 
as we all do, as we must, upon the invisible gift: 
our purest, sweet necessity: the air.”
