    EPIGRAPH: Against all those who would make us afraid And now the answer batters the sky: with fire there is smoke, and after, ashes. You can howl your name into the wind and it will blow it into dust, you can pledge your single life, the earth will eat it all, the way you eat an apple, meat, skin, core, seeds.

    EPIGRAPH: Out of the gray hills Of industrial barns, out of rain, out of bus ride, West Virginia to Kiss My Ass, out of buried aunties, Mothers hardening like pounded stumps, out of stumps, Out of the bones' need to sharpen and the muscles' to stretch, They Lion grow.
