She was crouched in the corner of the room, eating something off the floor. It was the old woman dressed in endless black. When she looked up this time there was no question she was there for me.

consider the lilies.
We are of little faith.
We talk too much.

without nurses or clocks.

your words like stones!
Come here! Come here!
Come eat my pleasant fruits. — Anne Sexton
