" I think she was a f r a i d to love sometimes
I think it scared her
She was the type
to like things that are c o n c r e t e
like the ocean
something you could point to
and know what it was
And I think that’s why she s t r u g g l e d with love
She couldn’t touch it
She couldn’t hold on to it
and make sure
it never c h a n g e d . "
- Carrie Ryan, The Dead-Tossed Waves
