thirsty Quotes

“..would I have had a different life
failing this embrace with broken things,
iridescent veins, ecstatic bullets, small cracks
in the brain, would I know these particular facts,
how a phrase scars a cheek, how water
dries love out, this, a thought as casual
as any second eviscerates a breath.”
― Dionne Brand, thirsty

“She could assassinate streets with her eyes”
― Dionne Brand, thirsty

“dance floors would bleed from the knife of her dress”
― Dionne Brand, thirsty
