  1. I know too many ways 2 b broken,& not enough ways 2 b whole /There's an endless supply of beliefs I don't buy,& not 1 I can feel in my soul
  2. Isn't it worth whatever it takes? What are these demons? And who's to say I'm not strong enough?
  3. It wasn't allowed.(She said it 2 herself.) It was dark & unpredictable;heavy,impatient,wildly awake. Mostly Animal. And thus- Of course not.
  4. I felt it,concave,delicate,smooth&trembling- Maybe the moon was out.Maybe the black tree limbs bent,just a little.Maybe there were whispers-
  5. Somewhere n the water,a leap,a lurch,sunken lowlowlow,a pulse,breath,a shudder,then:whirling furious&fast,crashcrashcrash,wave: meet shore.
  6. It's not make-believe if it's right here, is it? It's not optimism that makes the sky rich and pink-gold (is it?)
  7. In my dreams, too, I fly sometimes / I say what I think / I believe in God
  8. Sinks into us deep, like one long story in our bones / But there's never been a bright star guiding either of us home
  9. 1st the rain that wouldn't quit.Then the inarticulate grief.Then the real ache:heaving,seething- Anchors dreaming of having a swim --
  10. It was soft once:Supple,trembling heart.Dry as bone now;cracked,broken.St.MaryOliver,your light shines thru the cracks.Are poems water then?
  11. Hurry hurry.Hurry; it's all pent-up & ballooning,& nothing's fast enough, strong enough,wild enough 2 keep it in.Hurry; we're nearly lost-
  12. The sorrow and sweat? Great disguise for regret / You jump in, you get wet / No one's told you this yet?
  13. The sky was soft pink,dozing ovr the steeple.Our table was gold-brown,glowing undr the lamps.You were gone,so I closed my eyes;wouldnt look-
  14. And on even the sunniest days there are no bridges across. This divide between me (bleak) and you (beautiful) is infinite, or close enough -
  15. If he was worn out, in pain, then that explained the surliness,the heavy look on his face. But it didn't explain everything.Not everything.
  16. In the dark she made a move / he couldn't see he couldn't prove / A certain sigh & dark as night / she said she may, she said she might --
  17. In the fuss the fuss the fuss,o come on u must u must u must feel SOMETHING 4 SOMEONE?a blush, a blush?But nothing,no fever,no rush no rush
  18. It was too much,but wasn't it perfectly timed? /That 1 moment all of it perfectly rhymed- /It was nothing at all, but what glimmer & shine-
  19. It was a shady reason, sure, but if that made the reason... "wrong," he thought there may not be reason at all-- To love, to ask, to want
  20. W/ a sigh & a huff,he decided "enough!"-It was dark,he was cold,growing artfully old; picked apart & quick-sold,one might start to unfold -
