Is pressed by unseen feet, and ghosts return
Gently at twilight, gently go at dawn..”

(excerpt from To Walter de la Mare)
it’s good to trust that voice inside your head
but only if it’s your own
sweet anticipation led to insomnia
she rose before dawn
and dressed in the dark
“But every memory is turned over and over again, every word, however chance, written in the heart in the hope that memory will fulfill itself, and become flesh, and that the wanderers will find a way home, and the perished, whose lack we always feel, will step through the door finally and stroke our hair with dreaming, habitual fondness, not having meant to keep us waiting long.”
~ Marilynne Robinson, Housekeeping
“There’s a safety in thinking in a diner. You can have your coffee or your milk shake, and you can go off into strange dark areas, and always come back to the safety of the diner.”
