Quotes by Olga Broumas (?)

“I am a woman committed to
a politics
of transliteration, the methodology

of a mind
stunned at the suddenly
possible shifts of meaning - for which
like amnesiacs

in a ward on fire, we must
find words
or burn.”
― Olga Broumas, Beginning with O

“We came together
like months
in a lunar year, measured in nights, dividing
perfectly into female phases. Like women anywhere
living in groups we had synchronous menses. And had
no need of a wound, a puncture, to seal our bond.”
― Olga Broumas, Beginning with O

“III.

I take my love to Manita. Swift-boned, green-
eyed, dressed in her dark skin and hair, I take my Love in
on fire. Manita moans.
Manita's hands

flow
delicate as insects, agile
as fish, cool as the shifting water, the night-
quiet lake. I take my Love to her hand on
fire. She takes my love.”
― Olga Broumas, Beginning with O
