“And night arrives in one gigantic step. / It is comfortable, for a change, to mean so little. These rocks offer no purchase to herbage or people: // They are conceiving a dynasty of perfect cold. / In a month we'll wonder what plates and forks are for. / I lean to you, numb as a fossil. Tell me I'm here.”

“...i am hopelessly / a lover and / a dreamer and / that will be the / death of me”

“The bold gulls dove as if they owned it all. / We picked up sticks of driftwood and beat them off, / Then stepped down the steep beach shelf and into the water. / We kicked and talked. The thick salt kept us up. / I see us floating there yet, inseparable—two cork dolls. / What keyhole have we slipped through, what door has shut? / The shadows of the grasses inched round like hands of a clock, / And from our opposite continents we wave and call. / Everything has happened.”

“When we had finally become friends, when the four of us trusted each other enough to let the world surrounding us into our words, we whispered secrets, pressed side by side by side or sitting cross-legged in our newly tight circle. We opened our mouths and let the stories that had burned nearly to ash in our bellies finally live outside of us.”

“I think of the lizards airing their tongues / In the crevice of an extremely small shadow / And the toad guarding his heart's droplet. / The desert is white as a blind man's eye, / Comfortless as salt. Snake and bird / Doze behind the old masks of fury. / We swelter like firedogs in the wind. / The sun puts its cinder out. Where we lie / The heat-cracked crickets congregate / In their black armorplate and cry. / The day-moon lights up like a sorry mother, / And the crickets come creeping into our hair / To fiddle the short night away.”
