1 " Through my history's despite
and ruin, I have come
to its remainder, and here
have made the beginning
of a farm intended to become
my art of being here.
By it I would instruct
my wants: they should belong
to each other and to this place.
Until my song comes here
to learn its words, my art
is but the hope of song.

(Part 2 from History is Clearing, p 174) "

― Wendell Berry , The Collected Poems, 1957-1982

2 " From chaos to lullabies
I watched her
live my thoughts,
and soon enough
she did become
my favorite stony.
She was everything
and with every word
she drew me closer.
She drew me into her story,
a story
I knew I would never
be able to understand. "

― , Black Butterfly
