Additional quotes by Naomi Replansky

When there was one kiss/against ten curses/and one loaf/against ten hungry/and one hello/against ten goodbyes/the odds stalked/your crooked steps.

My words may turn into stones/as easily as a man/turned one day into silence.

They went hunting lions/But a flea attacked them/And their hunters' passion/Narrowed to a flea.

I learned the speech of birds; now every tree/Screams out to me a baleful prophecy. - Naomi Replansky
