City, Ruby Quotes

“there was dust on your lips like clouds soft and misty and cool in sound I went out of my mind like birds in winter, completely out it was too much to find for me, as in blinding, thinking doubt the ecstasy had heights I never thought I would see. in the flash of love and light your neck was so close to my heart that its coil kept winding, winding tight your skin seemed to disappear and I saw the stars and the great terrible nothing until nothing of my eyes were left”

“Venn I drink you in, your skin is silk-lined
the wine puts the color in your eye.
Each other's words; the undressing of minds
reaching as through the tunnel;
the gentle pull, your gaze to me
your face is full, the missing fragment
of the whitewashed walls, kissed and free;
the piece of the temple of my soul”
