“Neću da joj pomognem, neka se otkrije sama, to je i smisao ove igre u kojoj se uspostavlja naš odnos. Pomalo sam nadmoćan, jer vidim da se ne brani, ali osjećam da nije slučajno stala na moj put : nešto će se desiti među nama. Čini mi se da to znamo i ona i ja, tražimo se i čekamo. I uvijek sve odgađamo, kao u strahu od rješenja. Ovako je mogućnost, cvjetanje, prostranstvo želje. Sve je tu moguće, sve je pred nama. A kad pređemo tu granicu, naći ćemo se na čvrstom tlu tačno određenog odnosa i obaveza kojih se bojim. Samo ona i ja, u uskom kavezu moguće ali nedovoljne nježnosti, omeđeni sobom i osjećanjima koja bi se mogla zaviti, ili koja bismo pokazivali da ne bude sasvim mučno. Samo ona i ja, bez svjetla, bez neomeđenih širina, koje nas draže kao mogućnost ... I ne znam šta je jače, šta je važnije, i zato se ispitujemo i čekamo. Bez ikakve logike, dirnut sam što osjećam da sam joj potreban i što me gleda drukčije nego ikoga drugog, a baš toga se bojim. Žao bi mi bilo da joj nanesem bol, a sigurno bi tako bilo. Ili vrlo vjerovatno. Užasavaju me obaveze, mogle bi da budu mučne, a privlači me što ih ona nudi. To rađa nadmoćnost, koja može da bude surova, ali i velikodušna : čuvam se i jednog i drugog ...”

“SPRING Somewhere a black bear has just risen from sleep and is staring down the mountain. All night in the brisk and shallow restlessness of early spring I think of her, her four black fists flicking the gravel, her tongue like a red fire touching the grass, the cold water. There is only one question: how to love this world. I think of her rising like a black and leafy ledge to sharpen her claws against the silence of the trees. Whatever else my life is with its poems and its music and its glass cities, it is also this dazzling darkness coming down the mountain, breathing and tasting; all day I think of her— her white teeth, her wordlessness, her perfect love.”
