Stasia Ward Kehoe said this quote

It is strange to hear my wordsRead back to me.I don't think I wrote themTo have them ever leave the page.I think I only writeWhat happens across my brainWhen my feet are too weary To dance anymore.

~ Stasia Ward Kehoe

Do I dare ask him for what I want,As if I knew it,Could find it on some pageIn some chapterIn some book?

~ Stasia Ward Kehoe

Does it matter that people and thingsHave words,Have names?If not,Why read any book?A litany of useless lettersDetached from bone, muscle.Or are words the only things that make the muscle, bone, memory, movement,PersonReal?

~ Stasia Ward Kehoe

Dare I tell them that since I came here to danceI have been giving pieces of my body awayTo ridiculous diets,To repeated injuries,To Remington?And that maybeI thinkWith each bit of my bodyI lose a little piece of my soul
