I graduated first in my class from alibi school.

I realise there's something incredibly honest about trees in winter, how they're experts at letting things go.

I've had the wind knocked out of me, but never the hurricane

Even when I'm dead, I'll swim through the Earth, like a mermaid of the soil, just to be next to your bones.
