A poet's interest in craft never fades, of course.

As long as you're dancing, you can break the rules.

Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?

Let me keep my distance, always, from those who think they have the answers. Let me keep company always with those who say “Look!” and laugh in astonishment, and bow their heads. (from “Mysteries, Yes”)

...there was a new voice which you slowly recognized as your own, that kept you company as you strode deeper and deeper into the world, determined to do the only thing you could do -- determined to save the only life you could save.

Also I wanted to be able to love And we all know how that one goes, don't we? Slowly

it is a serious thing // just to be alive / on this fresh morning / in this broken world.
