“Poetry is nobody’s business except the poet’s, and everybody else can fuck off.”

“I felt a Cleaving in my Mind—”

“There is that poem. Scott Holland, I think. How does it go? ‘I have only slipped away into the next room’…or something. Yes. ‘I have only slipped away into the next room. I am I and you are you. Whatever we were to each other, that we are still.”

“With my ninth mind I resurrect my first”

“she lived with hurricane eyes and fell in love with the way the waves collapsed against her cheeks.”

“I asked him for it.”
