"Right now our moon looks like a pale cabbage rose. / Delam barat tang shodeh. / We are forever folding into the night. / Shab bekheir."
"it's a myth / that love lives in the heart it lives in the throat we push it out / when we speak when we gasp we take a little for ourselves"
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry. / This may be me at my best."
"I always wanted to be a saint / but I thought I'd be one of the miserable / ones sainted by pain burnt alive inside / a brazen bull instead I weep openly at obnoxious / beauty"
