I am not a person to say the words out loud
I think them strongly, or let them hunger from the page:
know it from there, from my silence, from somewhere other
than my tongue
the quiet love
the silent rage
— Keri Hulme, from “Against the Small Evil Voices,” in Strands.

Is that supposed to read “let them hunger FOR the page?” Otherwise, I’m lost as to the meaning. Cheers!
