Life without God’s love is like a donut, ’cause there’s a hole in the middle of your heart!

“In her demands, I hear seduction, the kind that plays out when you’re already in bed with someone, whispering ‘we can’t’ while you do.”

“Life— / I am of both your directions / Somehow remain hanging downward / the most / but strong as a cobweb”

“I used to accept, unquestioningly, that pleasure was fleeting, but now I think it has an afterlife."
