Heaven to Wudang Quotes

“The Serpent lies in a cage of jade, the demons laugh and poke it. It does not cry.

The Turtle lies on a hospital bed unconscious in a haze of pain, dreaming of being hole.

They want to be one and know it cannot be.”

“The Serpent lies on the carpet, alone. The city lights shine through the windows. It raises its head and tastes things gone; it drops its head and returns to the sea.

The Turtle raises its head from the water; the lake stretches around it. People point and talk, excited. It goes to the bottom and settles in the mud.”
― Kylie Chan, Heaven to Wudang
