“I dreamt I was whole once. I flew above the world on wings of snow and sugar and everything was beautiful and I was flawless and perfect.

When I woke my pillow was wet.”
Colubrina, Sublimation
“I assume you are waiting for a happy ending. You want the narrative to neatly turn to, "And then he realized what he was doing was just not wise, went to a good therapist, and now everything's better so let's go get a sweet."

Life doesn't work that way.

I don't die, though.”
Colubrina, Sublimation
“I assume you think by now that you would never do this. You tell yourself that I'm sick and you're well.

We all have demons.

Don't lie to yourself.”
Colubrina, Sublimation
“Please. Please love me. Please see who I am at my most wretched and love me. Please.”
Colubrina, Sublimation
“Simple minds are easily amused”
Colubrina, The Green Girl
“She's got a wonderful simplicity in the way she approaches her subject matter that obscures the symbolism she's embedded in deliberately awkward, naïve metrical structures and rhyme choices. By using these primitive structures she overrides the sophisticated readers' trained ears and forces them to grapple with the compelling emotional tenor of her work. ”
Colubrina, The Green Girl
