Richie Hofmann Quotes

Cicadas Bury Themselves In Small Mouths
of The Tree's Hollow, Lie Against The Bark Tongues Like Amulets,

though It Is I Who Pray I Might Shake Off This Skin And Be Raised
from The Ground Again. I Have Nothing

to Confess. I Don't Yet Know That I Possess
a Body Built For Love. When The Wind Grazes

its Way Toward Something Colder,
you, Too, Will Be Changed. One Life Abrades

another, Rough Cloth, Expostulation.
When I Open My Mouth, I Am Like An Insect Undressing Itself.
