Quotes from Richard Siken, Crush

If you love me, Henry, you don't love me in a way I understand.

Here is the repeated image of the lover destroyed.

This is where the evening splits in half, Henry, love or death. Grab an end, pull hard, and make a wish.

There is an empty space next to you in the backseat of the station wagon. Make it the shape of everything you need. Now say hello.

We clutch our bellies and roll on the floor...When I say this, it should mean laughter, not poison.
