quotes[0]="Instead Of Words
Instead of words
Black on white
Strung on wire and
Shaped into hooks
For hanging our longings
We need
Warm skins
Eyes, hands and
Lips to say:
Here we are
This is good and
It is enough
We need
Listening hearts
Pumping:
Yes, I
Hear you
Hear you
Hear you
"
quotes[1]="oceantalk
I take my daughter shopping for college
she imagines a life away from me
matches colors to her new body pillow
stripes of purple, white, brown, blue
each as clear, simple and basic
as a mother who loves you
time doesn’t pass, it curves around us
the way you go in widening arcs
the whorl of a conch shell
"
quotes[2]="Forget Egypt 1
Forget the Pharaoh
Forget the Pyramids
Forget Bondage in Egypt
Think of your life now
Let go of your internal Egypts
Saying: The Red Sea is red
Saying: you are only imagining it blue
Saying: You are the shank bone on the platter
Saying: Yes. You were the sacrificial lamb
Make a new dinner plate
Remember sweet, not bitter
Licorice, basil, mint
Ask these questions:
Where is my joy?
How can I be safe?
Why do I eat and eat the bread of affliction?
"
quotes[3]="Eyes
In my dream sheets of honeycomb cover the closet floor
Who needs eyes in a house like that?
"
quotes[4]="A Letter
Write me a letter of
Recommendation.
Tell them
I care and
I am present.
Don’t tell them
I am a blossom.
"
quotes[5]="In This Dry, Amber Air
In the mountains, among Columbine, Jacob’s ladder
Shootingstar, snow and granite,
On the Continental Divide,
I think of the choices
Between saving and burning
Between silk and barbed wire.
When I find you again
I will tell you:
I would if I could
Live in the cave
Of your two arms, your chest and your jaw-bone;
On the other hand
I am afraid to touch you
In this dry, amber air
I am afraid I would start a fire.
"
quotes[6]="Gestures In Red
1
He puts his arms around her.
Her forehead on his shoulder burns
The cloth, to the bone.
2
He kneels before her
To trim a loose thread
Hanging from her shawl.
His large hands are delicate, and his eyes
Gentle, when he looks up.
3
He brings his palms together
And bows without speaking a word.
His face blossoms like a dark-red rose.
