“Sully suffers from a stutter,
simple syllables will clutter,
stalling speeches up on beaches
like a sunken sailboat rudder.

sickened by the sounds he raises,
strings of thoughts come out in knots,

At night, he writes his thoughts instead
and sighs as they steadily rush from his head.”

― Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Angel
