“Her twelfth birthday. Story Land. Dad beaming, arms wrapped around her. She picked it up, searched Dad’s eyes. Who was he really, this man? Someone who would leave his daughter alone three hours in the backseat, wet from tears and her own piss because she thought she’d been left all alone in the world again.”

“Maybe the witch thought she was protecting Rapunzel, not punishing her. Maybe she thought that if Rapunzel was locked away, no one could ever hurt her. Maybe the witch kept Rapunzel because she loved her, because she was scared that if other people could get to Rapunzel, they would hurt her. And maybe Rapunzel didn't understand the witch; maybe she was angry at her - but maybe she loved her too.”

“Theft is the one unforgivable sin, the one common denominator of all sins. When you kill a man, you steal a life. You steal his wife's right to a husband, rob his children of a father. When you tell a lie, you steal someone's right to the truth. When you cheat, you steal the right to fairness. There is no act more wretched then stealing.”

“we met one strange summer
in a regular tangle of sticky webs
you had the air of angels sweet but I--
drowned with the damned spirits
in lava oceans fearing your--
foreign static frequency
and grey-green eyes
(I swear they are even if you--
think otherwise): storms
calm ones, calmer than my--
raging coals, empty and dead
you speak of souls like you believe
always an optimist in pessimistic
skin of ivory and titanium mesh...”
