My words are the garment of what I shall never be Like the tucked sleeve of a one-armed boy.

I have with me all that I do not knowI have lost none of it.

But most love poetry is awful; nobody knows how to write good love poetry either. But that's not a reason not to write love poetry. Some of the best poetry ever written has been love poetry, and some of the greatest poetry ever written has been political poetry.

Separation Your absence has gone through me Like thread through a needle. Everything I do is stitched with its color.

I wouldn't be happy about being considered a love poet or an environmental - I don't want any of those tags.

To succeed [,] consider what is as though it were past, deem yourself inevitable and take credit for it. If you no longer believe, enlarge the temple.
