A Scattering Quotes

“Memories. Weighty emptinesses. I live in a memory the size and shape of a house.”

“You don't want their botched text.
You want the breath, pulse and footfall
of the girl who dashed out

into sunlight like today's
through where maybe that door was –
then slammed it behind her.”
― Christopher Reid, A Scattering
