    The speaker describes how wild animals emerge from the woods at night and come near the home, browsing in the orchard and grass but barely looking inside. Though the family puts on music, there is still a sense of sorrow as they remember their primal origins and connection to the natural world. In dreams, the family revisits or is visited by the wild animals, who are described as brothers they have run away from, representing the family's inescapable biological ties to nature.

    Mary Oliver The Family The dark things of the wood Are coming from their caves, Flexing

    muscle. They browse the orchard, Nibble the sea of grasses Around our yellow rooms, Scarcely looking in To see what we are doing And if they still know us. We hear them, or think we do: The muzzle lapping moonlight, The tooth in the apple. Put another log on the fire; Mozart again, on the turntable. Still there is a sorrow With us in the room. We remember the cave. In our dreams we go back Or they come to visit. They also like music. We eat leaves together. They are our brothers. They are the family We have run away from.
