“Even when I'm dead, I'll swim through the Earth,
like a mermaid of the soil, just to be next to your bones.”

“I realise there's something incredibly honest about trees in winter, how they're experts at letting things go”

“But one kiss levitates above all the others. The
intersection of function and desire. The I do kiss.
The I’ll love you through a brick wall kiss.
Even when I’m dead, I’ll swim through the Earth,
like a mermaid of the soil, just to be next to your bones.”
