“The field where my brother died – I’ve walked there since. Weeds and grasses, some chicory stalks; no trace of the scene I still can see: a father and his sons bent above a deer they’d shot, then screams and shouts. Always I arrive too late to take the rifle from the boy I was, too late to warn him of what he can’t imagine: how quickly people vanish; how one moment you’re standing shoulder to shoulder, the next you’re alone in a field.”

— Gregory Orr, “A Moment” from The Caged Owl, New and Selected Poems
