“it is a serious thing // just to be alive / on this fresh morning / in this broken world.”
Mary Oliver, Red Bird

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

Richard Siken
“Imagine that the world is made out of love. Now imagine that it isn’t. Imagine a story where everything goes wrong, where everyone has their back against the wall, where everyone is in pain and acting selfishly because if they don’t, they’ll die. Imagine a story, not of good against evil, but of need against need against need, where everyone is at cross-purposes and everyone is to blame.”
Richard Siken

Richard Siken
“I’m not suggesting the world is good, that life is easy, or that any of us are entitled to better. But please, isn’t this the kind of thing you talk about in somber tones, in the afternoon, with some degree of hope and maybe even a handful of strategies?”
Richard Siken

Frank O'Hara
“willow trees, willow trees they remind me of Desdemona
I'm so damned literary
and at the same time the waters rushing past remind
me of nothing”
Frank O'Hara, Lunch Poems
