Quotes by Maria Hummel (?)

“There’s a large class of men who can’t endure humor in a woman.”
― Maria Hummel, Still Lives

“We ride the blades again
beside the crooked bay. You smile.
I hold you like a hole holds light.

We wear our hats and ride the knives.
They cannot fix you. They try and try.
Tunnel! Into the dark open we go.
Days you are sick, we get dressed slow.”
― Maria Hummel

“Not all back-looking is nostalgia,” I said. “Sometimes it’s selfexamination.”
