“In time to come I would regret turning back. The salt of
Myself absorbed your tears, but left a pile for you
To walk over.”

“Our eyes fixed, possibilities and ends, unwritten verses.
You nodded and ran your hand over your belly.
A Hannah, impassive, remembering your rival covenant,
Mouthing to me:
A boy.”

Ted Hughes-ing her life...
He's a feminist until there's housework”

“Now in the club, your side declared,
Can one retract a belief? Can one admit the vision
In your desert time was simply a mirage-path to
Nothingness?
Will your courage allow you to admit you were wrong?
Or stay quiet, your head bowed in shame not piety?
To waste your life in pretended belief, a chosen pity,
Or will you audaciously say
No more and walk the other way
Back along the Damascus road.”
― Rival Covenants: Poetic Stories
