“...good words - that triumphalism of positivity- but life will claw and eat you - chew you over and over - if you carry such a small knife ...”

“I send my words to you over the ether net like a message in a bottle...”

“...you trace a finger over my scar and uncloak me like a timid star...”

“...Use your finger to trace the scar upon my chest- I lied - it wasn't a knife wound, but a scrape from a nail sliding under a fence to see you...”

“...you know I wanted a Madonna, not a whore - I made you sacred offering you my words...”

“...you do violence with your words if you force them - art is given - the words received, moment by moment from unseen hands - call it a Muse ...”

“...you can use words if you wish, but I'm warning you - I've learned how to read your heart ...”
