“Every student did,” she sighs. “I thought he liked me best. He said I was the most talented. But then he sliced me open, his words like fire ants traveling deep inside, making tunnels and nests. When there was nothing left for them to sting or bite, when I was but a filmy bride, a cloud, a fragment of moonlight, a single line, they left me. So did he. “That, I have learned, is how poets are made.” |
