You ran past them, shaking raindrops off the leaves — you or the wind. It was toward the hills you ran, inland — invaded your country with all my ‘passionate intensity’, pontoons and parachutes of my blindness.

Tlove ' the wild herons who return each year to the marshy outskirts. ‘What I invaded has invaded me. By Denise Levertov,, from THE. FREEING OF THE DUS! permi 7, copyright © 1975 by Denise Levertov.
