“When I dreamed about flying,
it was as a skill
I needed to regain. ”
Rae Armantrout, The Pretext

“A sense of mission lost
in ink's
jagged outcrops.

I was trying to tell myself
what I must have known
before

in a form
I wouldn't recognize at first.”
Rae Armantrout, Next Life

“Simple


Complex systems can arise
from simple rules.

It's not
that we want to survive,
it's that we've been drugged
and made to act
as if we do

while all the while
the sea breaks
and rolls, painlessly, under.

If we're not copying it,
we're lonely.

Is this the knowledge
that demands to be
passed down?

Time is made from swatches
of heaven and hell.

If we're not killing it,
we're hungry.”
Rae Armantrout, Versed
