Patricia Engel Quotes
In The Old House In Miami, I'd Wake With The Feeling Of A Hand On My Chest, My Eyes Open To The Murky Blue Half-light Of My Bedroom. Everything Quiet, Though Still Feeling Noise All Around Me, Though My Ears, Behind My Eyes, Under My Skin.
In The Cottage, I Fall Asleep Slowly, Counting The Sounds Of The Night Animals - Crickets, Frogs, Squealing Raccoons, A Cat In Heat Somewhere Beyond The Coco Plum Trees.
But Mine Is Still A Loneliness That Shakes Me From My Sleep.
I Can Forget My Solitude All Day, Through My Working Hours, Through Errands, The Evening Housecleaning Ritual I've Made Up For The Cottage.
Yet Night Remains A Tomb, When I'm Most Vulnerable, Lying Down For Rest Without Distraction.
Only This Body And That Darkness, The Whispers Of The Never-ending Noche:
You Belong To No One. No One Belongs To You.
