Quotes by Matt Rasmussen (?)

“Kafka said, A book
must be an axe

for the frozen sea
inside us, which sounds

great, but what good
is an axe against

a frozen sea?
Perhaps this is why

he said, while dying,
Destroy everything.”
― Matt Rasmussen

“No island is an island,

he said. There is no new land,
just the same body broken open.”
― Matt Rasmussen, Black Aperture: Poems
