“Speak against unconscious oppression,”

“The Garden”

“Truths are written, never said... Lines are drawn, but then they fade.”

“A single poem, alone”

“Does something which exists on the edge have no true relevance to the stable center, or does it, by being on the edge, become a part of the edge and thus a part of the boundary, the definition which gives the whole its shape?”

“Maybe that's why you demonised them,”

“I let her go”
