Any of these might be worth consideration
Leaving Santiago
We stretch out our lives, like brief lines with ellipses,
and swallow each speech like a snake oil potion.
We live in a country of cowards and corpses;
both roll down the river en route to the ocean.
— D.P. Kristallo
Circumference thou Bride of Awe
Possessing thou shalt be
Possessed by every hallowed Knight
That dares - to Covet thee
— Emily Dickinson
First Fig
My candle burns at both ends;
BANNED POST BANNED POST It will not last the night;
But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends—
BANNED POST BANNED POST It gives a lovely light!
— Edna St. Vincent Millay
O Western Wind when wilt thou blow
The small rain down can rain
Christ! my love were in my arms
And I in my bed again.
