How body from spirit slowly does unwind, until we are pure spirit at the end.

So much of adolescence is an ill-defined dying, An intolerable waiting, A longing for another place and time, Another condition.

The damage of teaching: the constant contact with the undeveloped.

The poet: would rather eat a heart than a hambone.

How body from spirit slowly does unwind, until we are pure spirit at the end.

Time marks us while we are marking time.

I came to love, I came into my own.
