The lifeguards wade out halfway to the breakers
in their blue uniforms -- how can they know
what it is to save me, drowning in a lake
moving like boiling soup because the earth
spins and shakes and refuses to die, refuses
to fly heavenward and meet its cold moon?
-- "American Reverie"
Around you move many sees. It is impossible not to drown a little.
-- "Address to Winnie in Paris"
This is a picture of love: two gondolas in the dark.
This is also a picture of love: a hill covered with snow
and in the distance just within view... a snowman.
Another love story:
I think there is a knife in my head somewhere.
-- "Short Essay on Love"
