Quotes

Aida Rodriguezhas quotedlast year
I’d choose the moon, always the sister moon.

Cold, comely queen of the sky.
lilacfumeshas quoted2 years ago
Before, the only thing I was interested in was love, how it grips you, how it terrifies you, how it annihilates and resuscitates you. I didn’t know then that it wasn’t even love that I was interested in but my own suffering. I thought suffering kept things interesting. How funny that I called it love and the whole time it was pain.
Aldair Apodacahas quotedlast year
but some days I can see the point

in growing something, even if

it’s just to say I cared enough.

Moving poems regarding motherhood, time and nature. A pleasure to read out loud and feel the poems' music.
