There is a difference it used to make,⁣⁣ seein

There is a difference it used to make,⁣⁣
seeing three swans in this versus four in that⁣⁣
quadrant of sky. I am not imagining. It was very large, as its⁣⁣
effects were. Declarations of war, the timing fixed upon for a sea-⁣⁣
departure; or,⁣⁣
about love, a sudden decision not to, to pretend instead to a kind⁣⁣
of choice. It was dramatic, as it should be. Without drama,⁣⁣
what is ritual? I look for omens everywhere, because they are everywhere⁣⁣
to be found. They come to me like strays, like the damaged,⁣⁣
something that could know better, and should, therefore—but does not:⁣⁣
a form of faith, you've said. I call it sacrifice—an instinct for it, or a habit⁣⁣
at first, that⁣⁣
becomes required, the way art can become, eventually, all we have⁣⁣
of what was true. You shouldn't look at me like that. Like one of those⁣⁣
saints⁣⁣
on whom the birds once settled freely.⁣
