“The sea/the same then as now: more blear than blue, more/blue than silver”
Carl Phillips, Silverchest: Poems
“It was then we found ourselves too many fields away from
where we'd meant to be, with regard to desire, to get there
ever, even if—though this was not the case—we'd been
told the way.”
Carl Phillips, Silverchest: Poems
“When I say I trust you, I mean I’ve considered that you could betray me, which means I know you will, that we’ll have between us at last that understanding which is a safer thing than trust, not a worse, not a better thing”

not a better thing”
