    The great King of kings
    Hath in the table of his law commanded
    That thou shalt do no murder. Will you then
    Spurn at his edict, and fulfill a man’s?
    Take heed; for he holds vengeance in his hand
    To hurl upon their heads that break his law.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    She thinks of the 4 a.m. lonelinesses that have folded
    her up like death, discordant, without logical and
    beautiful conclusion. Her teeth break off at the edges.
    She would speak.
    Joy Harjo (b. 1951)
