Like a rite of life 
I take a book in my hands. 
In it the earth burns, scorched, 
the syllables, 
the verses, 
the mythical horizon blinded by the sun. 
El Cid rides, lost in words, 
way of the poem and exile 
 
- Jose Vernon Gormaz 
 
 
All writers—all beings—are exiles as a matter of course. The certainty about living is that it is a 
succession of expulsions of whatever carries the life force…All writers are exiles wherever they live and 
their work is a lifelong journey towards the lost land… 
 
- Janet Frame 
 
 
Oft him anhaga are gebideð,   Often the solitary one experiences mercy for himself, 
metudes miltse, þeah þe he modcearig  the mercy of the Measurer, although he, troubled in  
spirit, 
geond lagulade longe sceolde   over the ocean must long 
hreran mid hondum hrimcealde sæ,  stir with his hands the rime-cold sea, 
wadan wræclastas. Wyrd bið ful aræd!"  travel the paths of exile – Fate is inexorable." 
 
- "The Wanderer"

Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell 
Robin Adams 
 
If I could let you know (and I couldn’t) 
You’d still flatten your head on my shoulder 
Clamping down into my clavicle with your teeth 
It becomes a blade in your mouth 
Taking up space previously used for questioning 
Whether chain tangles of sticks and twig pose 
A threat to your forest 
Or simply a change in the ecosystem 
A source of warmth 
You question me a bit less now as 
I climb into the sockets of your eyes 
And you take watch through me 
Our symbiotic union, bone sawing through 
Thick, fibrous optical cord 
Then fusing our nerves together into rope, binding me 
You need me to shut the fuck up 
And to draw your eyelids closed 
As you 
Tear away at my wool coating 
Plummet into my acupunctured skin 
Lace it with fragments of bone and carrion 
I give my body to you fully 
You use me as you need me
