Quotes by Dave Smith (?)

“I throw out love
like an anchor and wait where the long house lights
of strangers tickle the river’s back …

Isn’t it right to drag the rivers for the bodies
not even the nets could catch? I won’t lie, I want
you to lie with me on the tumbling surface of love.

from “Sailing the Back River”
― Dave Smith, Floating on Solitude: Three Books of Poems

“Every gray day swells in around you, gold bird.
Sinister as the copperhead in thick russet
pinestraw, that held-back surge of piled up desire.
I think my hands were born to touch and weave with
air your intricate dips, veers, blinks always take.”
― Dave Smith, Fate's Kite: Poems, 1991-1995

“and I had no home but the heart’s hut,
the blistering walls of loneliness,
the world’s blue skymiles of longing.”
― Dave Smith, The Roundhouse Voices: New and Selected Poems
