In the dressing room for “Star Turn”
Nothing is quite as secretive as the way the stars Take off their bandages and stare out At the night, that dark rehearsal hall, And whisper their little songs, The alpha and beta ones, the ones from the great fire.
Charles Wright, from Star Turn in “Appalachia”
The Closer (TV Series) - S7/E9 'Star Turn' (2011) Ken Howard as Wes Durant
That the deepest wound is the least unique surprises nobody but the living. Secretly, and with what feels like good reason, we’re the pain the people we love put the people they no longer love in.

That the deepest wound is the least unique surprises nobody but the living. Secretly, and with what feels like good reason, we’re the pain the people we love put the people they no longer love in.
Graham Foust
Listen to Graham Foust read his poem.
The poet comments: I made this poem walking around the zoo in Omaha, Nebraska, with my mother and my daughter. It was incredibly hot and the zoo was very crowded—everyone around us seemed irritated with one another, but we were getting along just fine. The poem is a little chunk of music I was able to hold in my head until I was able to write it down, which I did, later, on the back of a King Soopers receipt that was in the car.
LOL the Twizzlers are killing me
