Thank you for this. After reading that poem, I'm going to check out Camilly Dungy's book, Soil.

"Quiet

that is lost on me, waiting as I am

for an alarm."

I feel that.

I think my favorite observation here is,

"There is always something

starting somewhere, and I have lost ambition

to look into the details."

Yes. I love how you feel her "turn the page".
