Jacqui Germain Quotes

“You have survived so much
that no one remembers.
And you still spread warm
rain on all your overgrown
lots. And you still get dressed
in the morning. You still
open wide for the sun.”
― Jacqui Germain, When the Ghosts Come Ashore

“Our people know these two things best: water and salt.
We cry when we run out of sweat, we sweat when we tired of cry.”
― Jacqui Germain, When the Ghosts Come Ashore
