“My anger scares me, my fear scares me, and somewhere in there is shame, too — why am I so enraged and so scared? I am afraid of going to bed and of waking up; afraid of tomorrow and of all the tomorrows after.”

“I am a wolf dream. Eyes like wild furor. I am an injured fortress. A thousand oceans of unrest.”

and  i  shall  be  the  wolf who  dines  upon  wolves, the  sheep  upon  sheep, the  man  upon  men  —

“I took the flowers from my hair with a withered hand.”

“Among the flowers I’ve been buried, in the thorns my nightingales have been silenced and I’ve been choked by the snakes.”

“She shivers and revels like a nymph that longs for the faraway sun.”
