Thanks
“we are saying thank you faster and faster
with nobody listening we are saying thank you
we are saying thank you and waving
dark though it is”
– W. S. Merwin, from Thanks
Bukowski
Some Things
We say of some things that they can’t be forgiven, or that we will never forgive ourselves. But we do – we do it all the time.
– Alice Munro, Dear Life: Stories
Crackling Trees
I must see new things and investigate them. I want to taste dark water and see crackling trees and wild winds.
– Egon Schiele
Don’t Let Go
I remember how seeing the shape of your mouth that first time, I kept staring until my blood turned to rain. Some things take root in the brain and just don’t let go.
– T.S. Eliot, Slow Dance
Sense
My turn shall come. I sense the spreading of a wing.
– Osip Mandelstam
