Far off in the red mangroves an alligator has heaved himself onto a hummock of grass and lies there, studying his poems.
I don't want to end up simply having visited this world.
Be good-natured and untidy in your exuberance.
The end of life has its own nature, also worth our attention.
A mind that is lively and inquiring, compassionate, curious, angry, full of music, full of feeling, is a mind full of possible poetry.
In this universe we are given two gifts: the ability to love and the ability to question. Which are, at the same time, the fires that warm us and the fires that scorch us.
