Liar's Bench Quotes

“I’d loved Mister Softee’s jaunty carnival song even more than his confections: It had lassoed the nights, matching my delighted squeals and proving a balm for the bruises of childhood, both the kind you could see and the sort you could only feel deep underneath your skin.”
― Kim Michele Richardson, Liar's Bench

“the farewell blessing to Mama: And when life’s sweet fable ends.
Soul and Body part like friends.
No quarrels, murmurs, no delay;
A kiss, a sigh, and so away.”
― Kim Michele Richardson, Liar's Bench
