Quotes
Being a lesbian, I strive to find the virtue in being alone. I get hot when it's hot, I take off my shirt. I'm strong. What could be better? Girls like me so I have to fight to get some space. This is luxury, my humpy alone-time. But I like being watched. That's hot too.
Christ, if he had been a woman, might have been nothing but a great complainer
I come from a long line of worshippers of strong crazy women.
I have this feeling that being a poet is kind of a religion.
One of the reasons I write poetry is to mark my existence.
