“I think of the coal grease black dust and memories that burn slow as anthracite how some colours don’t fade however deep they’re buried how even a dowry of rags smouldering in a box can flare in a winter grate and how to own the country of her birth a woman might have to wear a fire”

Thanks for accepting. I think we must already be friends on Facebook, I will check. Pleased to meet another Frida fan. I hope you'll enjoy What the Water Gave Me.
