Alice Walker
“it is the sense
that something that was alive
for a very long time
is still alive. Not yet beaten into
submission
or oblivion
by those who kill everything
they touch
with money.”
Alice Walker, Taking the Arrow Out of the Heart

Brandi L. Bates
“Wind as old as Rome outside my window, inky fleece clouds against charcoal crushed velvet skies, fall feels soulful, like a LaBelle octave.”
Brandi L. Bates, Soledad
