“he laid down his pen
after a few moments.
and there were no marks
on the corner of the page.
where his hand
had been resting.

the ink had run dry.

there was nothing.

nothing left.”
― Lili Reinhart, Swimming Lessons: Poems

“I wiped the shit from my shoes again and again, still going about my business, that of being alive, the best I could.”
― Patti Smith, Year of the Monkey

“I could feel the gravitational pull of home, which when I'm home too long becomes the gravitational pull of somewhere else.”
― Patti Smith, Year of the Monkey

“Take care of the people
you love

without expecting
a reward

for being a giving and
caring person.

Otherwise you will end
up living in your big,
beautiful house

alone.

Unknowingly homeless.”
― Lili Reinhart, Swimming Lessons: Poems
