RADIO ETHER PROGRAM ONE THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED AND SIXTY SIX (WASN'T BORN TO FOLLOW ETHER #18)

That Moment Sharon Olds

It is almost too long ago to remember– when I was a woman without children, a person, really, like a figure standing in a field, alone, dark against the pale crop. The children were there, they were shadowy figures outside the fence, indistinct as distant blobs of faces at twilight. I can't remember, anymore, the moment I turned to take them, my heel turning on the earth, grinding the heads of the stalks of grain under my foot, my body suddenly swinging around as the flat figure on a weathervane will swerve when the wind changes. I can't remember the journey from the center of the field to the edge or the cracking of the fence like the breaking down of the borders of the world, or my stepping out of the ploughed field altogether and taking them in my arms as you'd take the whites and yolks of eggs in your arms running over you glutinous, streaked, slimy, glazing you. I cannot remember that instant when I gave my life to them the way someone will suddenly give her life over to God and I stood with them outside the universe and then like a god I turned and brought them in.
