Poetry quotes!
1. something has tried to kill me and has failed
2. and we will never die, not one of us, we'll go on won't we?
3. your unutterable name, this growl in my throat
4. See this handful of birds I release on the church steps? I do this to remind you
5. You are a phantom in that far-off city where daylight climbs cathedral walls
6. The heart its own rough animal.
7. No one can tell me anything about this radiance.
8. bodies against rock, beached until burning.
9. And what language exists with no word for blood?
10. Fill yourself with the song—sing. Do not sink.
11. my fingers will find yours, tangle & sweeten the air
12. to belong to the river is to belong to the infinite is to call it a god
13. Each night reunites me with the feral tenderness of my own evil.
14. How will you bear living somewhere you don't know yourself.
15. I have always been afraid of what it means to forgive
16. Love is like this; not a heartbeat but a moan.
17. Or perhaps, once one begins,there are only endings.
18. We are covered with stars.
19. a new slick leaf unfurling like a fist to an open palm
20. Want has no business here.
21. learn how to lay me down in something other than danger other than fury
22. I’m the fire unwilling to release them in fear
23. scrape it down to the clean bone unbreaking
24. I could not have burned better or brighter.
25. When I'm alone I lay my weapons down.
26. still unknown to each other & not knowing
27. And stars, which gave us the word distance, so we could name our deepest sadness.
28. I will turn sorry into profanity. Into grace.
29. We were here & looked right into the sun
30. i am burning. i am not consumed.
31. to desire everything and nothing at once and to desire it all the time
