And the attraction that many of us felt, the desire to smell one another’s smells, feel or rub or caress one another’s scales or skin or feathers or fur, taste one another’s blood or flesh, keep one another warm— that attraction was now all one with the fear, and the hunter could not be told from the hunted, nor the eater from the food.”

waiting for you to call
& tell me

dripping from
my 3rd eye -
I could use some-
thing a little
stronger
because even
after all this time
the sun never
said to the earth
you owe me.”
― Zara Joan Miller, Blue Monday

“Your ability to change my life, your unwillingness to do so.”
