I swear, I end up feeling empty, like you’ve taken something out of me and I have to search my body for scars Picture Quote #1

Sorry about the blood in your mouth. I wish it was mine. I couldn’t get the boy to kill me, but I wore his jacket for the longest time Picture Quote #1

There is an empty space next to you in the backseat of the station wagon. Make it the shape of everything you need. Now say hello Picture Quote #1

Everyone needs a place. It shouldn’t be inside of someone else Picture Quote #1

From the landscape: a sense of scale. From the dead: a sense of scale Picture Quote #1

Someone is digging your grave right now Picture Quote #1

Moonlight making crosses on your body, and me putting my mouth on every one Picture Quote #1

Sometimes you get so close to someone you end up on the other side of them Picture Quote #1

Tell me about the dream where we pull the bodies out of the lake and dress them in warm clothes again Picture Quote #1

I’ve been rereading your story. I think it’s about me in a way that might not be flattering, but that’s okay. We dream and dream of being seen as we really are and then finally someone looks at us and sees us truly and we fail to measure up. Anyway: story received, story included. You looked at me long enough to see something mysterioso under all the gruff and bluster. Thanks. Sometimes you get so close to someone you end up on the other side of them Picture Quote #1

Wearing your clothes or standing in the shower for over an hour, pretending that this skin is your skin, these hands your hands, these shins, these soapy flanks Picture Quote #1

We have not touched the stars, nor are we forgiven, which brings us back to the hero’s shoulders and the gentleness that comes, not from the absence of violence, but despite the abundance of it Picture Quote #1

I woke up in the morning and I didn’t want anything, didn’t do anything, couldn’t do it anyway, just lay there listening to the blood rush through me and it never made any sense, anything Picture Quote #1

He could build a city. Has a certain capacity. There’s a niche in his chest where a heart would fit perfectly and he thinks if he could just maneuver one into place – well then, game over Picture Quote #1

The light is no mystery, the mystery is that there is something to keep the light from passing through Picture Quote #1

I don’t know where I end and the world begins. My best guess? Skin. It’s the only actual boundary between the body and the world, between a body and any other body Picture Quote #1

Sorry about the blood in your mouth. I wish it was mine. I couldn’t get the boy to kill me, but I wore his jacket for the longest time Picture Quote #1
