1 " Love is what I sought."Hunger," they called it. "
― Gregory Orr , The Caged Owl: New & Selected Poems
2 " I was born with a knife in one hand and a wound in the other. "
3 " Where would I be if not for your wild heart?I ask this not from love, but selfishly—how could I live? How could I make my art? "
4 " If shadows could talkthey would tell useverything we know alreadybut in the melodiouslanguage of tearsin which every third word rhymes.from “Some Notes on Shadows "
5 " I remember the cloud on its blue bicyclegliding over the leaves under the bare branches.You and I were walking.You wore your long green dresswith the hem frayed so the loose threadsseemed like tiny roots.We were holding hands when my handbecame a yellow scarfand you stood waving it slowly.from “Daffodil Poem "
