“Beside you I failed to dream of anything else.”
Paul Guest, My Index of Slightly Horrifying Knowledge

“When I say to you,
I have seen the black floor of the ocean,
you should know better
than to believe me in that moment.
My heart was broken, then,
and my arms were no good
at all. These words are what was left
of my breath. I am
so very tired of time and of waiting
for nothing to change.”
Paul Guest

“Here is the topography of false starts. Here
a whole constellation is lousy with desire.
Here what passes for love is the same
as anywhere. Here no one has said
a prayer for the stars, and here no one
comes, except to leave, except to stay
long enough to bruise.”
Paul Guest, The Resurrection of The Body and The Ruin of The World
