Quote by inkness//IG poet

“I haven't got a clue on how to love you like a lover should, how to make you happy or even how to make you stay. I hardly grasp the essence of desire and true affection scares me more than it should, but know that every stutter, every shy glance, every hesitant touch, come from someone who believes in you and I.”

“He abierto el cuaderno un par de veces, pero no me atrevo a comenzarlo. Es demasiado bueno y temo no estar a la altura. Me ocurre lo mismo con todos los cuadernos que compro. Al final acaban en un cajón muy profundo que tengo en mi estudio, como una especie de colección de obras completas inversas. Allí está todo lo que no he sido capaz de escribir. Novelas que nunca verán la luz, cuentos nonatos, poemas invisibles. Ahí se encuentra lo mejor de mí, aquello en lo que puse más empeño, la sintaxis en la que más arriesgué. Los cuento: hay treinta y cinco, tantos como libros llevo publicados.”

“I've found, though, that people are more likely to share their personal experiences if you go first, so that's why I always keep an eleven-point list of what went wrong in my childhood to share with them. Also I usually crack open a bottle of tequila to share with them, because alcohol makes me less nervous, and also because I'm from the South, and in Texas we offer drinks to strangers even when we're waiting in line at the liquor store. In Texas we call that '_southern hospitality_.' The people who own the liquor store call it 'shoplifting.' Probably because they're Yankees. I'm not allowed to go back to that liquor store.”

“And Miss Marvina, could you bring me my charger? And something to eat from your kitchen? The food here is horrible." The request for food never landed on better ears. "You got it." Marvina whipped up a batch of chicken salad using some of the chicken breast from the Christmas meal surplus. After peeling off the crispy fried skin, the tender meat made for a perfect light sandwich filling. But just in case Kerresha wanted the extra seasoning flavor, Marvina grabbed her container of seasoning, wrapped sandwiches, a bag of chips, and napkins to take back to the hospital. She made enough chicken salad sandwiches to feed all four of them, including Falcon, as well as anyone else who might want a taste 'cause that's what folks with the gift of hospitality do,”
