Zero at the Bone Quotes

“Remember Rio de Janeiro, the size of God’s hand, sardines fleshed-open at the market, the way I entered you and moved inside? Looking down, is this the kind of density you can live with? What is the slightness of our bodies to stay, to be good at loving a second time? My mouth pretends it is an oar when it lives inside your mouth, but you are far away.”
― Stacie Cassarino, Zero at the Bone

“In what do you believe? In September's slight motion
of particulars, in the weight of birds,
in lust, propulsion, maps
that lie.”
― Stacie Cassarino, Zero at the Bone
