I always wanted a child. Being a mother is the central thing in my life.

It is a moon wrapped in brown paper.

The stars are filming us for no one.

For me, poetry is the music of being human. And also a time machine by which we can travel to who we are and to who we will become.

Time hates love, wants love poor,/but love spins gold, gold, gold from straw.

I have piles of poetry books in the bathroom, on the stairs, everywhere. The only way to write poetry is to read it.

I like to think that I'm a sort of poet for our times.
