“Now we’re like planets, holding to each other
from a great distance.
[...] Now we’re hundreds of miles apart,
our short arms keep us lonely,
no one hears what’s in my head.
[...] It’s March, even the birds
don’t know what to do with themselves.”
― Anne Michaels, Poems: The Weight of Oranges, Miner’s Pond, Skin Divers

“Sometimes it's about playing a poor hand well.”
― Donna Tartt, The Goldfinch
