for afternoon, all afternoon for night;
and still the longing sings.
Oh, paper bird with folded wings.”

“Give me peaches like burning clouds.
I’ll pare those globes until dawn. The syrup
will linger on my fingers like your scent.
Let me escape my own insistence.”

“WHAT IS A POEM?
Such slight changes in air pressure,
Tongue and palate,
And the difference in teeth.
Transparent words.
Why do I want to say ochre,
Or what is green-yellow?
The sisters of those leaves on the ground
Still lisp on the branches.
Why do I want to imitate them?
Having come this far
With a handful of alphabet,
I am forced,
With these few blocks,
To invent the universe.”
― The Essential Ruth Stone
