“People hate the truth for the sake of whatever it is that they love more than truth. They love truth when it shines warmly on them, and hate it when it rebukes them. The truth is like a lion. You do not have to defend it. Let it loose. It will defend itself.”
“My mouth can’t stop thinking about your mouth.
Your pink lips. Your glittering teeth.
I’m crushing plums under my tongue and
laughing into my wine glass. Your hand is on my leg
under the dinner table and your parents are
smiling. There are candles flickering and everything
smells like light. Everything looks like love.
I’m whispering in your ear and what I’m saying is
I love you. I love you.”
