“I sometimes hold it half a sin
To put in words the grief I feel;
For words, like Nature, half reveal
And half conceal the Soul within.”

“Sewing up the seams as words
grow into sentences, verbs don’t fit,
fall into place. Nothing proceeds
according to plan. There isn’t a plan.
I perform confusion instead of composition.”

On lament:
“Such remembrance is tender in the full sense of that word; tender in its loving but also tender to the touch, like an open wound, and yet the memory that opens the wound is also searching it, cleansing it and healing it.”
