Had I truly thought I would not die when he kissed me? But I did. For a moment the breath and life went out of me and there was no time and no tomorrow but only my lips against his.
Martine Leavitt
It is life that hurts you not death.

How thin the air felt at the forest's edge, how ghostly the trees that guarded their realm.. The whole world seemed as delicate as a dandelion seed, and as fleeting.. How sad to know that the figment village of my imagination would not vanish when I ended, to understand that it was not I who had invented the moon the first time I realized how lovely it was. To admit that it was not my breath that made the winds blow.. [M]y heart, my heart knew that when I closed my eyes I invented the night sky and the stars too. Wasn't the whole dome of the sky the same shape as the inside of my skull? Didn't I create the sun and the day when I raised my eyelids every morning?

When it is winter and we must walk in the blizzard snow do not our fingers and toes whisper death? And when winter is at last over... Can we not hear our bellies whisper death to us? In the dark don't we know? And when we are paralyzed by nightmares? We know what you are.? With our first cries we rail against you.? We see you in every drop of blood in every tear.
death dark blood winter snow walk hear nightmares whisper
His [Death] voice is cold at first, John. It seems unfeeling. But if you listen without fear, you find that when he speaks, the most ordinary words become poetry. When he stands close to you, your life becomes a song, a praise. When he touches you, your smallest talents become gold; the most ordinary loves break your heart with their beauty.
