1 " Tell them that you weren't hungry, tell them you followed the pomegranates seeds because hey tasted like blood, like love. "
― Pauline Albanese , The Closed Doors
2 " Each one of my ribs—I will open each one of my ribs with fingertips, break each one of my ribs, and allow you to dive your hands into my chest so you can feel the beating of my heart. I will show you that life isn’t always warm, isn’t always veiled in dusk and emerald. "
3 " Tell them that you weren't hungry, tell them you followed the pomegranates seeds because they tasted like blood, like love. "
4 " I chose you because you’re an orchard of ripe fruits, and I want to lay my sufferings in the shadows of your arms, of your belly. I chose you because your tears remind me of September rain. Because of the sun I see in your pupils. You cannot run now, can you? You have found your home. Do you feel the darkness in the hollow of your plexus? Don’t you understand? Your darkness was your secret, and she whispers to mine. "
5 " I will tell them I came for me and stayed for you. "
