“It's a dangerous mission. You could die out there. You could go on forever.”
Tess Gallagher

“Don’t move. I like this ledge of loose diamonds
waiting to be spilled into the night.
Let’s shine awhile without touching.
Sensuality is, after all, a river that is always waiting.”
Tess Gallagher, Moon Crossing Bridge

“So remembering
is only one more way of being alone
when the voice has gone everywhere
in the dusk of the porches
looking for the last thing to say.”
Tess Gallagher, Instructions to the Double: Poems
