“In the darkness and the snow, the street is empty
and it is just the night, the ice and me.”
― Miriam Joy, Crossroads Poetry

“In May I keep count.
Two and a half more days of school;
five between exams.
Twenty thousand words of a novel
and four poems and six borrowed books.
More numbers to add to counting my pills
and trying to work out how to stay awake.”
― Miriam Joy, Broken Body Fragile Heart

“the mind is a treasure
trove, an almanac, a tomb.”
― Beth Morey, Night Cycles: Poetry for a Dark Night of the Soul

“How strange and ironic it is-
all the words i long to say
are lost in words.”
― Sanober Khan
