Quotes by Anca Vlasopolos (?)

“Those seeds, they
taste like nothing else in the world. They may not
have honey's burst of aching sweet or that lingering
bitter of chocolate or a scent on the tongue like
rose-petal jam making you think a flower
is climbing through your roof, unfolding inside
your brain. Those seeds, they're not even sharp
like a lemon that unlocks springs under your lip.

They're not like that at all.”
― Anca Vlasopolos, Penguins in a Warming World

“do you look back
still
from whatever dimension
our lost loves
roam”

“for who in the West would take us seriously
in our government-issue attire, we
not anticipating the more likely turn,
who in the West would pay us mind at all.”
