Quotes by Tina Chang (?)

“My mother was a mother of mothers,
modern before she was ancestral.
She was a woman who morphed into feline, back
to her human self before I woke each morning.”

“I chewed into the wreck of the world,
into the neckbone of the past that pursued me.
All the while, I moved toward extinction,
bearing the burden of damage, language of the protector.”

“Where does God live if not in the shadows
of struggle, marching next to the living,
with battlements and a slogan, knowing

faintly more than we do?”
