Attention is love, what we must give
children, mothers, fathers, pets,
our friends, the news, the woes of others.
What we want to change we curse and then
pick up a tool. Bless whatever you can
with eyes and hands and tongue. If you
can't bless it, get ready to make it new.
In her bottled up is a woman peppery as curry,
a yam of a woman of butter and brass,
i find it easy to admire in trees what depresses me in people
Marge PiercyThere is no justice we don't make daily like bread and love.
Marge PiercyThe work of the world is common as mud.
Botched, it smears the hands, crumbles to dust.
But the thing worth doing well done
has a shape that satisfies, clean and evident.
A strong woman is a woman who craves love like oxygen or she turns blue choking.
A strong woman is a woman who loves strongly and weeps strongly and is strongly terrified and has strong needs. A strong woman is strong in words, in action, in connection, in feeling; she is not strong as a stone but as a wolf suckling her young. Strength is not in her, but she enacts it as the wind fills a sail.
Children always wanted their parents in situ, in stasis. The faster they changed, the more their parents should remain the same.

Every artist creates with open eyes what she sees in her dream.
Marge PiercyWriting implies faith in someone listening,/ different in content but not need/ from the child who cries in the night./ Making is an attack on dying, on chaos,/ on blind inertia, on the second law/ of thermodynamics, on indifference, on cold,/ on contempt, on the silence/ that does not follow the chord resolved,/ the sentence spoken, but the something/ that cannot be said.
Marge PiercyThe pitcher cries for water to carry and a person for work that is real.
