“His chest is a split-open watermelon tourmaline geode -- wet-look and twinkling. And there, a raw rose quartz quavering away for a heart.”

“The loop is broken. A viridescent ribbon sighs to the floor. My triggers, signalling molecules, unwind. Jade is moss-soft palms and consensual. Jade is superhuman raw and beautiful machine verdant. Jade is the multiverse written into variegated stone and banded -- there I am and there I am and there I am happy!”

“O I should have been the
snail. Living phallus that can
hide when threatened. But
I'm the oyster. Quivery ashen
gill. Cold jelly mess of a
boy shucked wide open. In-
vertibrate. Raw.”
― Richard Scott, That Broke into Shining Crystals
