She likes it best when everything is very, very quiet.

I can't sleep…
She likes it best when everything is very, very quiet.
~ Linn Ullmann, ”Unquiet: A Novel” (W. W. Norton & Company, January 15, 2019)
It is time to just go into a cocoon
and spin your soul.

Carrying a day
is like carrying a mountain,
Brooding over your own horizon
those endless small words
The silence at the end of sentences.
Come to the bank
Breathe the snow
Put your day down
– Terrance Keenan, excerpted and edited from “Lullaby of Crossing the River” in St. Nadie in Winter
