When I pull myself from the darkness, I’ll be stronger for it and you’ll regret leaving me for dead.”

“Poetry Its door opens near. It’s a shrine by the road, it’s a flower in the parking lot of The Pentagon, it says, “Look around, listen. Feel the air.” It interrupts international telephone lines with a tune. When traffic lines jam, it gets out and dances on the bridge.

When caravans cross deserts it is the secret treasure hidden under the jewels.”
