A review by daneekasghost
Thief in the Interior by Phillip B. Williams
4.0
Two quotes:
"I was told I could turn my back to them,
the sickle-mouthed angels who rummage
through the church dumpsters looking
for wings or food. One is a friend, febrile
with addiction, drug-rot blackened teeth
freaked into blades from the sheath of his lips.
I was told he would occupy no space
in my memory, that he shouldn't. Snow
falls like a mask in pieces over his face."
- from "Love Story"
"But I believe we are, inside, all blue, you said.
Listen, neither we nor blue make sky.
The earth spins and we, utterly, are spun."
- from "Of Contour, of Cadence"
