“Stories have a way of changing faces. They are unruly things, undisciplined, given to delinquency and the throwing of erasers. This is why we must close them up into thick, solid books, so they cannot get out and cause trouble.”
― Catherynne M. Valente, The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making

“Moonlight making crosses
on your body, and me putting my mouth on every one.”
― Richard Siken, Crush

“We are survivors, of each other. We have been shark to one another, but also lifeboat. That counts for something.”

“I want to
let her know
though
that all the nights
sleeping
beside her

even the useless
arguments
were things

said:

I love
you.”
― Charles Bukowski
