Dear Darkness QUOTES

Dear Darkness QUOTES

1 " How I would sing

like a kettle to keep you "

― Kevin Young , Dear Darkness

2 " Like God
Gumbo is hard
to get right

& I don't bother
asking for it outside
my mother's house.
Like life, there's no one

way to do it,
& a hundred ways,
from here to Sunday,
to get it dead wrong. "

― Kevin Young , Dear Darkness

3 " Daylight Savings"

Like the money the light
doesn't go

as far these days "

― Kevin Young , Dear Darkness

4 " It’s getting harder
to live without
faith, or you,
or whatever
we choose to call
what calls
to us in the quiet.

— Kevin Young, from “Book Rate,” Dear Darkness: Poems (Alfred A. Knopf, 2009) "

― Kevin Young , Dear Darkness
