As if a tenderness awoke, a tenderness that did not tire, something healing.

Louise Glück, from Meadowlands; "Marina"
[Text ID: "My heart was a stone wall / you broke through anyway. / My heart was an island garden / about to be trampled by you. / You didn't want my heart; / None of it was my fault. / You were everything to me, / not just beauty and money. / When we made love / the cat went to another bedroom. / Then you forgot me. / there's nothing there now / except the wildness people call nature, / the chaos that takes over. / You took me to a place / where I could see the evil in my character / and left me there. / The abandoned cat / wails in the empty bedchamber."]
