“Waves, sky, trees, Essrog - I was off the page now, away from the grammar of skyscrapers and pavement.”
“When I loved you and you loved me,You were the sky, the sea, the tree;Now the skies are skies, and seas are seas,And trees are brown and they are trees. ”
“I kiss like a skyscraper meets the sky, only with less scraping and more vertigo.”
“a wind has blown the rain away & the sky away & all the leaves away, & the trees stand. i think i, too, have known autumn too long.”
“After a long day of screaming at the trees, I smell like a skyscraper. Would you care to ride on my elevator shaft?”
“Have you noticed how nobody ever looks up? Nobody looks at chimneys, or trees against the sky, or the tops of buildings. Everybody just looks down at the pavement or their shoes. The whole world could pass them by and most people wouldn't notice.”
