Quotes by Jerrold Yam  (?)

“Rest. Let the letting
go. It is better to heal
than not to have loved at all.”
Jerrold Yam, Intruder

“I am thinking of our family's women
as faraway bulbs, their history
with crippling loss, and
how I am pieced together, shell and sand,
from the spine of their collective strength.”
Jerrold Yam, Scattered Vertebrae

“... when your palm laced like water
on a cheek of mine, a finger raiding
each contour by oath, we both knew
that in growing up, some signs had to be
sought behind closed doors, and upon discovery,
remain beyond the doors we wrought as ransom.”
Jerrold Yam, Chasing Curtained Suns
