I am living. I remember you.

Without devotion any life becomes a stranger's story...told for the body to forget what it once loved.

Memory is a poet, not an historian.

Each of us suffers with envy/for the forgiven.

We tell each other stories to help each other live. That’s why I read poetry. I read poetry to stay alive. That’s why I went to poetry in the first place, that’s why I stay with it, that’s why I’ll never leave it.

Poetry holds the knowledge that we are alive and that we know we're going to die.

I am living. I remember you.
