Only a Window

And now a little Mary Oliver, from Have You Ever Tried to Enter the Long Black Branches:

Listen, are you breathing just a little, and calling it a life?

While the soul, after all, is only a window,
and the opening of the window no more difficult
than the wakening from a little sleep.
