true or false
tattle like it's complex
or so simplistic
it depends on who you are
half who i pretend you are
and the rest who you really are
i am all that you think i am
you'd think i could rewrite
me

I talked to you on the phone.
Tried to joke. Don’t worry
about me, I said, I have the quail
for company. Well, they took flight
when I opened the door. A week later
and they still haven’t come back. When I look
at the silent telephone I think of quail.
When I think of the quail and how they
went away, I remember talking to you that morning
and how the receiver lay in my hand. My heart—
the blurred things it was doing at the time.
— Raymond Carver, from “Away,” in All Of Us: Collected Poems

…because tenderness depends on how little the world touches you. To stay tender, the weight of your life cannot lean on your bones.
