“I just want to take care of animals. Go to sleep knowing they trust me and I made a difference to spirits that can’t fully take care of themselves. I want us to be family like the good earth intended. I want a garden that grows enough food, I barely go to the grocery store when spring comes around. I want to pluck raspberries to snack on in the afternoon and hang my clothes out in the sun to dry. I want to be so far deep into nature, into making my surroundings good again. For a long time, I spent too much time in the dark. From here on out, there is only light.”

— Schuyler Peck, From Here On Out

“To sleep in one another’s arms, and dream of waves, flowers, clouds, woods,”

— Percy Bysshe Shelley, from The Collected Poems of P. S; “Epipsychidion,”

“It’s raining in that way it always seems to be raining even when there is no rain”

— Kazim Ali, from “Mountain Time,” The American Poetry Review (vol. 50, no. 1, January/February 2021)

Mountain air so clean, you can taste it. It stains your clothes. I open my dresser and smell the wind through the grass. On the porch, the windchime we made sings to let us know the rain is coming in soon. We linger with the windows open just a moment longer, fill the tea pot, grab blankets for the rocking chairs outside. We sit and drink and watch and smile as the sky changes hues. How green the grass gets in contrast to the furious gray. How the rain makes music across the wood porch, roof shingles, and terra cotta pots by the stairs.
