Their Divorce by Stephen Dunn
"I mentally bless and exonerate anyone who has kicked a chair out from beneath her or swallowed opium in large chunks. My mind has met their environment, here in the void. I understand perfectly."
Suzanne Finnamore, Split: A Memoir of Divorce
what a fuck.
stories from the futon
"I have learned that if you must leave a place that you have lived in and loved and where all your yesteryears are buried deep, leave it any way except a slow way, leave it the fastest way you can. Never turn back and never believe that an hour you remember is a better hour because it is dead. Passed years seem safe ones, vanquished ones, while the future lives in a cloud, formidable from a distance."
Beryl Markham, West with the Night

"Everywhere I go, I find myself there."
