Quote
Give me the strongest cheese, the one that stinks best; and I want the good wine, the swirl in crystalsurrendering the bruised scent of blackberries, or cherries, the rich spurt in the backof the throat, the holding it there before swallowing. Give me the lover who yanks open the doorof his house and presses me to the wallin the dim hallway, and keeps me there until I’m drenchedand shaking, whose kisses arrive by the boatloadand begin their delicious diasporathrough the cities and small towns of my body. To hell with the saints, with martyrsof my childhood meant to instruct mein the power of endurance and faith, to hell with the next world and its pallid angelsswooning and sighing like Victorian girls. I want this world. I want to walk intothe ocean and feel it trying to drag me alonglike I’m nothing but a broken bit of scratched glass, and I want to resist it. I want to gostaggering and flailing my waythrough the bars and back rooms, through the gleaming hotels and weedylots of abandoned sunflowers and the parkswhere dogs are let off their leashesin spite of the signs, where they sniff eachother and roll together in the grass, I want tolie down somewhere and suffer for love untilit nearly kills me, and then I want to get up againand put on that little black dress and waitfor you, yes you, to come over hereand get down on your knees and tell mejust how fucking good I look.- “For Desire
