Quotes by Sonya Vatomsky (?)

“Self-preservation is an art and I a masterpiece.”
― Sonya Vatomsky, Salt Is For Curing

“Well-wisher With the cold, wet walls around me and the courage finally pulled from guts like an impossibly-lodged burr, I drag my remaining fingers against the stone. I wish the sky would open up and swallow me whole and you partly. Fingernails flutter about, little angels! Bereft of heart. Now that you’ve gone and I’m left lacking both your body and love I myself held marble like statue or marble like meat? Fat and bone. The only thing tying me to anyone is borrowed books and the black clouds circle above like vultures, the rain whistles. A terrible tune.”
― Sonya Vatomsky, Salt Is For Curing
