Jane Miller: "Ecstasy"


As the ancients detail it
ecstasy passes over us
in a mist of particles
it lives bare
dies unburied
I finally understand it is raining
it is beautiful
a couple of hawks in a tree
and not the tree entire




"Ecstasy" by Jane Miller. Published in Boston Review, May/June 2013.
