Favorite Quote:
"I have a need of silence and of stars;
Too much is said too loudly; I am dazed.
The silken sound of whirled infinity
Is lost in voices shouting to be heard." - William Alexander Percy (Home)


I despise lines
Because I see them
In everything that leaves me
Staring at the ceiling at night.
Lines that never want to connect
Just right,
No matter how beautifully
They meet in my head.
Lines to remind me of the things
I was trying to forget
Under clothes and
Softer lines that
Never look sharp enough
In mirrors.
Waiting in a line
That moves so slowly
Only until the end where
It's just a flash of a memory.
Everything I see is made of lines
And I've been wasting all my time
Trying to find my way
From point A to point B.
