“All night I streched my arms across
him, rivers of blood, the dark woods, singing
with all my skin and bone ''Please keep him safe.
Let him lay his head on my chest and we will be
like sailors, swimming in the sound of it, dashed
to pieces.'' Makes a cathedral, him pressing against
me, his lips at my neck, and yes, I do believe
his mouth is heaven, his kisses falling over me like stars.”
― Richard Siken, Crush

“Of course I love her, but there are as many forms of love as there are moments in time.”
― Jane Austen, Mansfield Park

“How vain it is to sit down to write when you have not stood up to live.”
― Henry David Thoreau
