Even a painful longing is some form of presence Picture Quote #1

There are things better left untouched by words … Picture Quote #1

Tell me what’s the difference Picture Quote #1

My poems are more my silence than my speech. Just as music is a kind of quiet. Sounds are needed only to unveil the various layers of silence Picture Quote #1

Letters of the condemned. Last words scratched on a cell’s wall. To write like that Picture Quote #1

I don’t write poetry when I wish, I write when I can’t, when my larynx is flooded and my throat is shut Picture Quote #1

The way a source strains toward the light, toward the air. Its laboring work, its effort, its black passageways like despair. That’s the way a poet looks for words. With muscles, gestures Picture Quote #1

I am that which lies beyond time. Like a melody, which sounds completely only after the last note is played Picture Quote #1

I have no talent. I write poems for myself, to think things through, that’s all Picture Quote #1

I’ve learned to value failed conversations, missed connections, confusions. What remains is what’s unsaid, what’s underneath. Understanding on another level of being Picture Quote #1

Writing down your thoughts is both necessary and harmful. It leads to eccentricity, narcissism, preserves what should be let go. On the other hand, these notes intensify the inner life, which, left unexpressed, slips through your fingers. If only I could find a better kind of journal, humbler, one that would preserve the same thoughts, the same flesh of life, which is worth saving Picture Quote #1

I’m moved by everything broken and crippled. Since that’s how we really are Picture Quote #1

This morning I suddenly catch myself: I’m not there, I’m so lost in thought, I don’t know what’s going on around me. Can you think yourself to death? Picture Quote #1
