Once you lose someone it is never exactly the same person who comes back.

The older I get, the more I see the power of that young woman, my mother.

Because a poem is not written while running or while answering the phone. It's written in whatever minutes one has. Sometimes you have half an hour.

I wish I wrote more about the world at more distance from myself.

There is something in me maybe someday to be written; now it is folded, and folded, and folded, like a note in school.

My poems - I don't even like the sound of that, in a way. Not that anyone else wrote them. But we know that only people who are really close to us care about our personal experience.

I think that my work is easy to understand because I am not a thinker, I am not a... How can I put it? I write the way I perceive, I guess.
