Internal Devices Quotes

“AS I SLEEP

I fear that darkness
Finds me
As I sleep
When life is quieted
Midnight’s brutal feet
Cast upon me
Cementing me
Against my pillow
In a heaven
Of black roses”
― Trisha North, Internal Devices: The Faulty Drives Within My Mortal Hardware

“THE SUN

Suppose
The spurting sun was like a little snake
Bathing against earth
In a strategic flight
Its tongue
Hot across my face
Reminiscent to a summer’s eve
An unexpected surprise”

“DEATH

A woman who dreams of death
Is sitting in her room alone
While the clouds and the stars
That once saw the quiet fumes
Of war
Reach out to grasp one another
And stifle that fire
But the distinct forms
And multitudes
In blurs
Takeoff racing in the earthen boundaries
Never counting
The parts they killed
As they were air-driven
Within the velvet cores of her galaxy”
