“El amor se trunca a veces
como un miembro amputado,
pero el vacío sigue haciendo sus gestos,
que tal vez alguien reciba.
Aunque el amor se vaya,
el hábito de amar se alarga siempre.
Por eso no es extraño
que si el amor retorna
sus gestos se entremezclen
con los gestos anteriores.
Y aparezcan amores
que vagan por el mundo
con gestos duplicados,
amores que parecen dos amores.
No es raro, por lo tanto,
que confundamos un amor con otro
y hasta amemos aquel que ya no está
en lugar del que está.”
― Poesía vertical: Antología

“Hoy no hecho nada.
pero muchas cosas se hicieron en mi. Pájaros que no existen
encontraron su nido.
Sombras que tal vez existan
hallaron sus cuerpos.
Palabras que existen
recobraron su silencio.
No hacer nada
salva a veces el equilibrio del mundo, al lograr que también algo pese
en el platillo vacio de la balanza.”

“Fear of seeing a police car pull into the drive.
Fear of falling asleep at night.
Fear of not falling asleep.
Fear of the past rising up.
Fear of the present taking flight.
Fear of the telephone that rings in the dead of night.
Fear of electrical storms.
Fear of the cleaning woman who has a spot on her cheek!
Fear of dogs I've been told won't bite.
Fear of anxiety!
Fear of having to identify the body of a dead friend.
Fear of running out of money.
Fear of having too much, though people will not believe this.
Fear of psychological profiles.
Fear of being late and fear of arriving before anyone else.
Fear of my children's handwriting on envelopes.
Fear they'll die before I do, and I'll feel guilty.
Fear of having to live with my mother in her old age, and mine.
Fear of confusion.
Fear this day will end on an unhappy note.
Fear of waking up to find you gone.
Fear of not loving and fear of not loving enough.
Fear that what I love will prove lethal to those I love.
Fear of death.
Fear of living too long.
Fear of death.
I've said that.”
