January // Still Life

"Then there are days like these. 

I've had them before & I know they come, 

so I also know they end."

(Brightly Shining, Ingvild Rishoi)

"The moon moves placidly through its phases 

while the days go awry."

(Orbital, Samantha Harvey)

"She lives inside the workings of a clock

& it's grinding time through her bones."

(Orbital)

"We angels deliver messages that make 

the heart beat faster, heartbreaking messages, 

messages of solace. We deliver all sorts."

(Mina's Matchbox, Yoko Ogawa)

"She trusted in God & nature 

to strengthen her heart & spirit

for her life on earth 

& the life to come." 

(Little Women, Beth)
