“What I wanted was to blow a hole in the sky, explode a star, let the burning embers scorch me and everything they touched.”

“Travelling to past lives is like making a hole in the floor and letting the flames of the fire in the apartment below scorch and burn the present”

“The glitter in the sky looks as if I could scoop it all up in my hands and let the stars swirl and touch one another but they are so distant so very far apart that they cannot feel the warmth of each other even though they are made of burning.”

“I am the pool of goldWhen sunset burns and dies--You are my deepening skies;Give me your stars to hold”

“[...]the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes “Awww!”
