“My love is like a lone star,
At the top of a black sky.
Turn my back and shine from afar.
Lone star gone in the daylight.”
― Jessica Rohrbaugh, Temple of Lush: Poems & Prose

“You stand there firing until the gun feels
light again, and innocent. And then you reload.”
― Kim Addonizio, Tell Me

“Fallen glamor lives in grandma’s jewelry box.
I imagine myself as a great destructive force,
Wrenching diamonds and sapphires from their
sockets
And unloosing them to ride the wind.
The gems stare back at me.
Cold cool-toned stars of the night sky,
Blind to the world above.”
― Jessica Rohrbaugh, Temple of Lush: Poems & Prose

“He who hates himself is not humble.”
― E.M CIROAN
