“Yes, I was infatuated with you: I am still. No one has ever heightened such a keen capacity of physical sensation in me. I cut you out because I couldn't stand being a passing fancy. Before I give my body, I must give my thoughts, my mind, my dreams. And you weren't having any of those.”

“All in all, I'd say,
the world is strangling.
And I, in my bed each night,
listen to my twenty shoes

falls out of the sky each night,
with its hungry red mouth
to suck at my scars.”
