“That voice. It was not hers at all but the howl of the animal that dies within each of us.”

“My whole childhood and throughout my adolescence, I’m frothing at the mouth.”

“You're in a car with a beautiful boy, and you're trying not to tell him that you love him, and you're trying to choke down the feeling, and you're trembling, but he reaches over and he touches you, like a prayer for which no words exist, and you feel your heart taking root in your body, like you've discovered something you don’t even have a name for.”

“You are twelve years old. You do not have a brother. You have never experienced anything this ferocious or intentional with another person. Your mother is pretending that she hasn't seen anything. Your father is fiddling with the knobs of the radio. There is an empty space next to you in the backseat of the station wagon. Make it the shape of everything you need. Now say hello.”

You Are Jeff is one of those poems that sticks with you foreverrrr

“Letter” is my favorite so far

“How you murdered your family
means nothing to me as your mouth moves across my body… all this was anticipated and so you will know that it meant nothing to me.”

to honour you with shells and coloured bottles;
to keep from your face the falling sand
and from your human arm the time-charred beetle;
to teach you new stories about lightning
and let you run sometimes barefoot on the shore.
And when the needle grins bloodlessly in his cheek
he will come to know how beautiful it is
to be loved by a madwoman.”

“The straightest path to a missing mother was to become one yourself.”

“It is the burden of the survivor to wake one day and discover in yourself a stranger.”

“To know the Word by the voice of your mother, that has always been the path to salvation.”

“All these years on, and still I am a little girl scared for her brother, scared for herself without him.”
