At the Un-National Monument along the Canadian Border by William E. Stafford

In the middle there is a grassy field with a flying bird, cut off in its own little bubble, but slightly hazy and faded. This represents the feeling the poem invokes of a place that is on its own and peaceful, but is also forgotten. It is surrounded by a mass of torn darkness in sharper focus than the scene in the bubble itself, showing how it is always the chaotic and dark that is remembered the most clearly.
