Theories of Falling Quotes

“You are that moment before falling, the falling,
a whir of falling, a wail of falling, the sweet
thud.”
― Sandra Beasley, Theories of Falling

“Just to try. The smooth
surface resists, resists,
and erupts in my mouth:
seeds, juice, acid, blood

of a perfect household.
The way, when I finally
went sailing, my stomach
was rocked from inside

out. Little boat, big sea.
Handful of skinned sunsets.

from Cherry Tomatoes”
― Sandra Beasley, Theories of Falling
