I study nature so as not to do foolish things.
People, the people we really love, where did they come from? What did we do to deserve them?
There’s a difference between being alone and being lonely. Writers know that. I have never met a writer who does not crave to be alone. We have to be alone to do what we do.
Words have a love for each other, a desire that culminates in poetry.
A poem is a finished work of the mind, it is not the work of a finished mind.
I'm lucky enough to occasionally be able to do something I love - write poems - and unlucky enough that what I love confuses and overwhelms me.
