“Have you ever lost yourself in a kiss? I mean pure psychedelic inebriation. Not just lustful petting but transcendental metamorphosis when you became aware that the greatness of this being was breathing into you. Licking the sides and corners of your mouth, like sealing a thousand fleshy envelopes filled with the essence of your passionate being and then opened by the same mouth and delivered back to you, over and over again - the first kiss of the rest of your life. A kiss that confirms that the universe is aligned, that the world's greatest resource is love, and maybe even that God is a woman. With or without a belief in God, all kisses are metaphors decipherable by allocations of time, circumstance, and understanding”

“to live in this world

to love what is mortal;
to hold it

your own life depends on it;
and, when the time comes to let it go,
to let it go”
― New and Selected Poems, Volume One

we aren't speaking, and it is making my heart hurt
so bad that sometimes I can't make it up off the floor.”

you needn't learn to love
unless you've been taught
