Mouthful of Forevers QUOTES

41 " You silly little girl,
you think
you've survived so long
survival shouldn't hurt anymore. "

― Clementine von Radics , Mouthful of Forevers

42 " Oh my darlin', it is time you learn
everything worth loving
takes hard work and patience. "

― Clementine von Radics , Mouthful of Forevers

43 " You pretty little scorpion
on his nightstand. You mosquito
flying into our bedroom,
carrying all your bloody threats.
Your lack of sickness,
your threat of sting.
Imagine me a frog, long tongue
slithering out to swallow you
whole. Imagine him, warm, asleep
beside me. While you wait
for his response, phone poised
in your hand like a rattlesnake. "

― Clementine von Radics , Mouthful of Forevers

44 " I will kiss you like forgiveness. You
will hold me like I’m hope. Our arms
will bandage and we will press promises
between us like flowers in a book.
I will write sonnets to the salt of sweat
on your skin. I will write novels to the scar
on your nose. I will write a dictionary
of all the words I have used trying
to describe the way it feels to have finally,
finally found you.

— Clementine von Radics, from “Mouthful of Forevers,” Mouthful of Forevers (Andrew McMeel, 2015) "
