“a dream is only a memory of the future”
steve erickson

“If I had it to do all over again . . . I wouldn't change a thing.'. . . the final expression of narcissism, the last gesture of self-congratulation.”
Steve Erickson, The Sea Came in at Midnight

“I began composing the next poem, the one that was to be written next.

Steve Erickson, Rubicon Beach
