Geri

“My sprite! he called his lover in the shelter of the darkness, and she looked back into his eyes. He was mad, she thought, naked but for his scraps of clothing, his axe, his clucking hen. And how he talked! Of Flora, the dominion of the toad and muck-clam, the starscapes of the fireflies, the reign of wolf and bear and bloom of mold. And around them, in the forest, everywhere: the spirits of each bird and insect, each fir, each fish.”
― Daniel Mason

“You didn't need it anyway,
it attracted too much attention.
Better with only a shadow.

Someone wants your shadow.”
― Margaret Atwood, Dearly

“You’ll always be my favorite ghost”
― Florence Welch, Useless Magic: Lyrics and Poetry

“That room has been static for me so long:
an emptiness. a void. a silence
containing an unheard story
ready for me to unlock.

Let there be plot.”
― Margaret Atwood, Dearly
