Nothing will tell you
where you are.
Each moment is a place
you’ve never been.

~ Mark Strand

Tonight as it gets cold
tell yourself 
what you know, which is nothing
but the tune your bones play
as you keep going.

~ Mark Strand

"A poem is a place where the conditions of beyondness and withinness are made palpable, where to imagine is to feel what it is like to be. It allows us to have the life we are denied because we are too busy living."

~ Mark Strand
