The Porcupine of Mind Quotes

“Unforgiveness,

splinter in your breastbone, lives
there lodged like a small tree.
Withers in winter, looms
in spring. Its fruit is sweet
on first bite, then turns
into the taste of your own flesh.”
― Katerina Stoykova Klemer, The Porcupine of Mind

“So, what did you learn?
Curiosity asked the Cat, then
poked her carcass with a stick.”
― Katerina Stoykova Klemer, The Porcupine of Mind
