When I pronounce the word Future, the first syllable already belongs to the past. When I pronounce the word Silence, I destroy it.

I'm fighting against the bad poet who is prone to using too many words.

Life lasts but a few scratches of the claw in the sand.

Sometimes I write quickly, sometimes I spend several weeks on a single poem. I would really love for readers not to be able to guess which of the poems took so much work!

You can find the entire cosmos lurking in its least remarkable objects.

I'm one-time-only to the marrow of my bones.

I usually write for the individual reader -though I would like to have many such readers. There are some poets who write for people assembled in big rooms, so they can live through something collectively. I prefer my reader to take my poem and have a one-on-one relationship with it.
