“The past is a bad invention that keeps on happening
And it hurts to think about, like an unpaid bill
It's the wind dragging the desert backwards at night
& it burns you, like a pastel whip”
― Hera Lindsay Bird

“There is nothing more luxurious than eating while you read—unless it be reading while you eat. Amabel did both: they are not the same thing, as you will see if you think the matter over.”

“When you go,
if you go,
And I should want to die,
there's nothing I'd be saved by
more than the time
you fell asleep in my arms
in a trust so gentle
I let the darkening room
drink up the evening, till
rest, or the new rain
lightly roused you awake.
I asked if you heard the rain in your dream
and half dreaming still you only said, I love you.”
― New Selected Poems
