“Where you used to be, there is a hole in the world, which I find myself constantly walking around in the daytime, and falling in at night.” —Edna St. Vincent Millay
“But some nights, I must tell you,
I go down there after everyone has fallen asleep.
I swim back and forth in the echoing blackness.
I sing a love song as well as I can,
lost for a while in the home of the rain. ”
― Sailing Alone Around the Room: New and Selected Poems
