“I leave you, home, when I'm ripped from the doorstep by commerce or fate. Then I submit to the awful subway of the world.”
“Poems aren't postcards to send home.”
“The place I live in is a kind of maze and I keep seeking the exit or the home.”
“I am not at home in myself. I am my own stranger.”
“Home is my Bethlehem, my succoring shelter, my mental hospital, my wife, my dam, my husband, my sir, my womb, my skull.”
