“When I began to eat
things happened.
All through the sweetness I heard voices,
men and women talking about something—
another country, and trouble.
It wasn’t my language, but I understood enough.
Jungles, and death. The ships
leaving the harbors, their holds
filled with mangoes.”
― Mary Oliver

“I think this is / the prettiest world—so long as you don’t mind / a little dying,”
