"I want the muddled middle to be filled with the gristle of the living.”

I circle around God, around the primordial tower.
I’ve been circling for thousands of years
and I still don’t know: am I a falcon,
a storm, or a great song.
-Rainer Maria Rilke, The Book of Hours I, 2

“A woman who writes feels too much, those trances and portents!
As if cycles and children and islands weren’t enough; as if mourners and gossips and vegetables were never enough.
She thinks she can warn the stars. A writer is essentially a spy.
Dear love, I am that girl.”
-Anne Sexton
