Look at the birds. Even flying
is born

out of nothing. The first sky
is inside you, open

at either end of day.
The work of wings

was always freedom, fastening
one heart to every falling thing.

-- Li-Young Lee, "One Heart"

YES I HAVE EVERY ONE OF HIS BOOKS and also his book of interviews! I was reading "Mnemonic" last night actually, the one that ends with "once, I was cold. So my father took off his blue sweater." Ugh he is like the single reason why I still want to write poetry. :((((

I wish I read more poetry! Maybe I will try your method.
