“I say something

it sounds like words

it's not what they want to hear”
― Henry Hoke, Open Throat

“The birds chattered merrily on the wet brown branches. Daffodils sunned out among the headstones. How alive it all seemed, and how gracious-to die in an era when your death bought you a brief moment at the centre of something. To be important, rather than one of millions.”
― Alice Winn, In Memoriam

“any sec I could step off a cliff

I think I've always felt this way

the smoke makes it clear”
― Henry Hoke, Open Throat

“With everything in me screaming No! yet the sum of me sighed Yes.”
― James Baldwin, Giovanni’s Room
