She said she usually cried at least once
each day not because she was sad,
but because the world was so beautiful & life
was so short.

She left pieces of her
life behind her
everywhere
she went.

It's easier
to feel the
sunight
without them,
she said.

He told me once
that if I kept it
up long enough
I'd probably get
wise enough to
be silly in public,

but I probably
won't wait
that long.

I like geography best,
he said, because your
mountains & rivers
know the secret.

Pay no attention to
boundaries.

I never met
the Devil (yet)
but I imagine it's
a pretty scary
experience but then
again I guess that's
the point.

Are you a princess?
I said & she said I'm
much more than a
princess
but you don't have
a name for it yet
here on earth.

What I'm mostly good at is sleeping, he once told me in confidence, but he added, I don't see much future in it.
