Softest of Mornings

by Mary Oliver

Softest of mornings, hello.

And what will you do today, I wonder,

to my heart?

And how much honey can the heart stand, I wonder, before it must break?

This is trivial, or nothing: a snail climbing a trellis of leaves

and the blue trumpets of flowers.

No doubt clocks are ticking loudly

all over the world.

I don’t hear them. The snail’s pale horns

extend and wave this way and that

as her fingers-body shuffles forward, leaving behind the silvery path of her slime.

Oh, softest of mornings, how shall I break this?

How shall I move away from the snail, and the flowers? How shall I go on, with my introspective and ambitious life?
