    The rain.”

    “The Road Not Taken

    Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
    And sorry I could not travel both
    And be one traveler, long I stood
    And looked down one as far as I could
    To where it bent in the undergrowth;

    Then took the other, as just as fair,
    And having perhaps the better claim,
    Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
    Though as for that the passing there
    Had worn them really about the same,

    And both that morning equally lay
    In leaves no step had trodden black.
    Oh, I kept the first for another day!
    Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
    I doubted if I should ever come back.

    I shall be telling this with a sigh
    Somewhere ages and ages hence:
    Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
    I took the one less traveled by,
    And that has made all the difference.”

    Charlotte Eriksson
    “I am not a Sunday morning inside four walls
    with clean blood
    and organized drawers.
    I am the hurricane setting fire to the forests
    at night when no one else is alive
    or awake
    however you choose to see it
    and I live in my own flames
    sometimes burning too bright and too wild
    to make things last
    or handle
    myself or anyone else
    and so I run.
    run run run
    far and wide
    until my bones ache and lungs split
    and it feels good.
    Hear that people? It feels good
    because I am the slave and ruler of my own body
    and I wish to do with it exactly as I please”
