I said: "I've come in to some money. Let's put it on a field and a herd of wild horses. Let's put it into a house off of the prairie." She said: "you have a plan, we'll make it okay." I didn't even know who that man was until he drew his perfect picture of your body. He knew half of the lines and curves. He made your breasts too large, your hips were all wrong. Made your nose too long, your hips were all wrong. She said: "you look good in that sweater." I said: "I love us in this messy kitchen." We have empty tiles, cracked with age. We have empty tiles and all of this wine.

I said I've nearly coughed my voice up. She said I'll grow our own tea leaves. Leave them to dry on the rack or in the pan and cool your throat with the drink. And when you wake up with a fever, whether or not you stole it from me, I'll press your cup against your lips and pour it down to you voice. We'll build a house like a shell. You can learn to draw and I'll plant apples in the yard. I know they'll come, I know, I know. But this is ours. It comes with us. We know these corners like our sisters. We can reach our arms out and touch them. We'll build a house like a shell and take it with us on our backs.

Feral Horse 03:37
We dug a shallow grave by the shed and waited patiently for the hand. Took to the field like our hair was on fire; douse it in wine, I'll douse it in water. I'm in love all the time. We found old photos with fire in his hands, drew a halo around each of his heads, put his poster on each of our streets. I'm in love all the time! She built a fire under my heart. Learn a craft, your rib in your hands. Learn to dance before we are wed.

Opium War 02:51
You fought this Opium War with a lack of patience, in sad locations. And you settled for different faces in different places. You were far secluded from me. I saw you waited for the bus to Southgate. I was sitting in the backseat. When you got on, I fucked you with my eyes. It's no surprise you were far secluded from me.

about

Dora: ...Did you know that when Christian cavalry first appeard in the New World, the pagans thought horse and rider was one person?
Dysard: Really?
Alan [sitting up, amazed]: One person?
Dora: Actually, they thought it must be a god.
