“you are every dead end
i ever ran from
and all the love
i am looking for”
― Morgan Nikola-Wren, My Dearest Hurricane: Love and Things that Looked like It

“Sanitized, cleaned, my house was a mausoleum and the ghost it housed was me.”
― Kristy McGinnis, Ellipsis

“i know you are just now learning
to let yourself be tired
so do not fear the cricks
and cracks of you
that is the sound
of a house well-loved
well-learned
well-lived

finally asking its ghosts
to come out (of hiding) for tea”
― Morgan Nikola-Wren, Magic with Skin On

“I want to know what haunts me. The ghosts that obscure my face in the mirror, that speak in my head when I’m trying to think, that pull my hands back when I try to reach out. I know there’s something; I just don’t know what it is yet.”
― Kirsty Logan, Things We Say in the Dark
