    “When you're in a relationship with someone who's selfish, what keeps you in it is the fact that when they shine on you, it's this souped-up shine. And you feel like you're in the club. And you don't even know what club it is. You just know you want to stay in it.”

    “I am getting tired of feeling disappointed. I am getting tired of other people trying to always take my kindness for weakness, I sure don't deserve it. I should assume responsibility and become cold to others and warm to myself. Some call it self loving, other selfishness... I call it respect. Why to give less that what is being given? Maybe I am way too much for you, maybe that is your biggest fear, to feel less.”

    Graham Greene

    Beryl Dov
    “Love is Heaven on a Hinge
    Memory enfolds upon her's sovereignty of sleep;
    her beauty manifests not as pleasing proportion
    but as an arcane assemblage of Ming porcelain,
    clues pieced together to reveal
    the numinous Yin within.
    Tangrams of facile shapes recollect
    into priceless chinoiserie
    excavated with a toothbrush
    beneath the clay noses
    of a thousand entombed sentinels.
    She reposes within my niche,
    an ingenuous vase,
    her dreams fulcromed by my lever.
    My right arm, her nocturnal tiara,
    diademed in jewels of sweat,
    perfumed in muskiness and ferment,
    heralded in the dulcet wail of snores.
    Beneath the bay window of her oneiric realm
    frogs belch Chopin's Impromptus,
    chanticleers trumpet Hayden
    cicadas chirp Mozart's Elvira Madigan.
    Under the mask of night my niche becomes
    her royal box at the Viennese Opera:
    concertinas of Chinese silk,
    the empyreal music of limns,
    the fateful reprise of heaven
    on a hinge.”
    ― Beryl Dov
