          How it was late, and no one could sleep, the horses running
until they forget that they are horses.
                    It’s not like a tree where the roots have to end somewhere,
          it’s more like a song on a policeman’s radio,
                              how we rolled up the carpet so we could dance, and the days

These, our bodies, possessed by light.

“We want our wounds to speak for themselves, but usually we end up having to speak for them.”
Leslie Jamison, The Empathy Exams

Franz Kafka
“In a way, you are poetry material; You are full of cloudy subtleties I am willing to spend a lifetime figuring out. Words burst in your essence and you carry their dust in the pores of your ethereal individuality.”
Franz Kafka, Letters to Milena

Richard Siken
“Oh, the things we invent when we are scared
and want to be rescued.”

“Sorry about the blood in your mouth. I wish it was mine.

I couldn't get the boy to kill me, but I wore his jacket for the longest time.”
