*************** 

"A sense of mission lost 

in ink's 

jagged outcrops.

I was trying to tell myself 

what I must have known 

before

in a form 

I wouldn't recognize at first."  

― Rae Armantrout, Next Life

************** 

"A friend is like a flower, 

a rose to be exact, 

Or maybe like a brand new gate 

that never comes unlatched. 

A friend is like an owl, 

both beautiful and wise. 

Or perhaps a friend is like a ghost, 

whose spirit never dies. 

A friend is like a heart that goes 

strong until the end. 

Where would we be in this world 

if we didn't have a friend." 

- Emma Guest
