The air was so quiet
he could hear
the broken
pieces of the sun
knocking the water.
— Flannery O'Connor, "The River"

Mom
The whole world was afraid of mother:
the trees shivered in the wind,
the bushes hunched together, trying to hide,
the grass lay flat and silent on the ground.
Even the air shrieked.
