“...Neruda was right about all mysterious women - The moon lives in the lining of their skin...”

“As if you were on fire from within.The moon lives in the lining of your skin.”

“... and all we knew about her that we didn't know the night before was that she had eyes like pansies and skin like the moon.”

“The skin along the parts in her hair, the skin above and behind the doctor's ears, is as clear and white as the skin inside her other tan lines must look. If women knew how their ears come across, the firm fleshy edge, the little dark hood at the top, all the smooth contours coiled and channeling you to the tight darkness inside, well, more women would wear their hair down.”

“I hear the singing of the lives of women. The clear mystery, the offering, and the pride.”

“Neruda had his first dream, First meeting with the Moon and the Sun In sunny La Mancha, hiding in his heart,Where he learned how to sing like a nightingale.”
