The brain says No to the Universe, Prove it,
but the heart is susceptible, pining for a look,
a kind word. Some are brought to their knees,

pleading in dead language at a deaf ear. Spaceships
float in nothing in the dark, searching for moons
to worship with their fish eyes. It must be love.
Carol Ann Duffy, “Searching for Moons” [excerpt]

The devil and I last night were alone in my house;
he laughed at my jokes, struck a match, burned the place to the ground.

you made my life a happy one… and
there is no tragedy in that.


Words weren’t dull, words were things that could make your mind hum.

Write drunk; edit sober.
Ernest Hemingway


Crazy isn’t being broken or swallowing a dark secret. It’s you or me amplified. If you ever told a lie and enjoyed it. If you ever wished you could be a child forever.
Susanna Kaysen (from Girl, Interrupted)
