“I have nearly completed
your disappearance”
Deborah Landau, The Last Usable Hour

“I am always nighttime on the inside
barefoot and heretic”
Deborah Landau, The Last Usable Hour

“with his words
in my head
I slept for thirty
or forty forevers
while the grass shrieked
and the trees tremored
it was crazy
letting my youth
pass like that
giving myself up
to the abstract fears
balconies collapsing
over the east river
as far as the eye could see
until all is miniature
wind over water
without end
when I am dead
I will have something
to say about death
& all the men stretched out
a girl must be a graveyard
I am a descendant of fields
and want to keep my mind off it, especially”
Deborah Landau, The Last Usable Hour
