Desire can make anything into a god.
I want what everybody wants, that's how I know I'm still breathing.
What did you think, that joy / was some slight thing?
It's freeing, to think that there's always an aspect of us outside the grasp of speech, the common stuff of language.
Poetry is an investigation, not an expression, of what you know.
We long to connect; we fear that if we do, our freedom and individuality will disappear.
