Quote by Karen Green

“I worry I broke your kneecaps when I cut you down. I keep hearing that sound. We fly from the world, right, like shrapnel angels, but why is everything so laden around here? Your legs were elegant, and you crossed them elegantly, not like a boy pretending his jewels were too big.”
