“Some say, don't burn your bridges.

I say, if necessary,
let the kerosene
kiss it on the lips,

and watch it
turn to ash.

There's always more than one way
to cross the water.”
― Rudy Francisco

“I'm learning that everything doesn't always come back the way you send it. Sometimes, love is more brick and less boomerang.”
― Rudy Francisco, No Gravity

“Loving you
was the last thing
I felt really good at.”
― Rudy Francisco, Helium
