“I walked through, and my eyes Swallowed everything, no matter How it cut. To bleed was my prize:
I was free, nobody’s daughter, Perfecting an easy weightless laughter.”

“I lapped the blood off my knuckles. The dried flakes dissolved in my mouth, turning my spit to syrup. Even after I’d swallowed all the blood, I kept licking my hands. I tore at the skin with my teeth. I wanted more. I would always want more.”
― Donald Ray Pollock, Knockemstiff
