Babble Quotes

“When the time comes to you at which you will be forced at last to utter the speech which has lain at the center of your soul for years, which you have, all that time, idiot-like, been saying over and over, you'll not talk about the joy of words.

How can they meet us face to face till we have faces?”

to the sky, or the bathroom floor
was jack-hammered to bone,
while the trees outside were left
to redirect the wind?

How quickly the den must have become more kitchen
and bedrooms lost their privacy. I see the books
we’d packed up and moved years ago

under a pile of fresh rubble, still sending off dust—
titles stunned to a babble
in gold leaf.”
― Kristen Henderson, Drum Machine
