Five strange blue things. You want to have it glued
together.”

“I hope it’s love. I’m trying really hard
to make it love.”

“Sometimes, at night, in bed, before I fall asleep, I think about a poem I might write, someday, about my heart, says the heart.”

“Can we love nature for what it really is: predatory? We do not walk through a passive landscape. The paint dries eventually. We collide with place, which is another name for God, and limp away with a permanent injury. Ask for a blessing? You can try, but we will not remain unscathed.”
― Richard Siken, War of the Foxes
