Life is as risky
as it is branchy
treetop and twigtip
are only the beginning
then comes the westwind to lean
and the northwind to turn
then the sunshine implores
and up all of us go
we are like any
greengrowing machinery
riding the daylight route
to darkness
Grace Paley always gives voice to a good story that harbors
emblematic concerns that makes human endeavors approachable
even when nature’s reasons need a poignant exploration.
