From her "Autobiography" l997 poetry collection:

"My lives line up like clothes on a clothesline.
A shirt billows out in grass-
sweet-smelling dry sun. A skirt hangs inanimate
in drizzle rain. My lives dream
as wind rises, bath towel flapping and solitary.
Why, even now, my lives
snap off the line and fly into space
between this place and my other lives."
