A Night Without Armor, her first collection of poetry,...

Comfort There's little love to giveAnd much to brood in hateFor the sexes are undoneLost in a bleak caveWith no way outBut why should anyoneLeave the comfort of their cellsWhen you have everythingThat you need right at your fingertipsFor what does it profit a manTo gain his soul, but lose the world?
