Kiana

“Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books that are now written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.”
― Rainer Maria Rilke

“I feel more like a person than ever because
I'm starting to hate myself”
― Henry Hoke, Open Throat

“she sees the dead man and she sees that I made him that way and her fists clench and she shudders like an earthquake

we meet for the first time

hello little slaughter

this is what a goddess looks like”
― Henry Hoke, Open Throat

“my mother was very kind

her bloodthirst was insatiable

she taught me how to snap a neck with my jaws

why would I ever leave her”
― Henry Hoke, Open Throat
