I’m in the horror film. I am the horror.

“To read Baraka is to read a man who fetishized murder”

“Real monsters are sober when they commit atrocities”

The erotic relationship between women.

So you want to be alone…

“The next time it’s soft cuffs, a blindfold”

“I could step gleaming like a pearl,
or pink oyster tongue;”

“I can almost feel the impact, liquor and purse and teeth flying”

It takes a long time to let go.

That’s why Margaret stays in this cult.

“The way home forms in the mouth like womb”

“It is the last place I want to be for the rest of eternity”

“The beach had seemed all wrong that day”

“I could get her there, pretty sure. I could make her hurt.”

He’ll never write a book… Tony is the book…

“Finding racism in your own heart is embarrassing and hard and painful”

“I was instructed to morph myself into a more palatable rape victim”

Fantastical characters crawling up the walls…

Lessons in drinking red wine while laying down.
