Quotes by Cate Marvin

“I am like a table
that eats its own legs off
because it’s fallen
in love with the floor.”
― Cate Marvin, Fragment of the Head of a Queen: Poems

4 people liked it

unsinkable depth: Not a sea of longing,
but the brack of wanting what’s physical
to help us forget we are physical.”
― Cate Marvin
