Favorite Quote:
&quot;All you have to do is write one true sentence. Write the truest sentence that you know.&rdquo;<br /> &quot;Madame, all stories, if continued far enough, end in death, and he is no true-story teller who would keep that from you.&quot;<br /> -Ernest Hemingway

posing like the soul
in a uniform so gray
I can hardly see you
as you run

how you run as you pose
like a gazelle
so graceful
so cruel to die

but you are gray
like the stalker
that tames
my gazelle forever

pose like a person
and run so that light
might catch you
and I can keep up
