Mary Karr Quotes
I Fixed Her A Drink, Then Lowered Myself On The Spider's Silk Of My Attention Back Into One Hundred Years Of Solitude And The Adventures Of The Buendia Family. The Scene Where The Prodigal Jose Arcadio Hoisted His Adopted Sister By Her Waist Into His Hammock And, In My Translation, 'quartered Her Like A Little Bird' Made My Face Hot. I Bent Down The Page, Whose Small Triangle Marks The Instant.
Touching That Triangle Of Yellowed Paper Today Is Like Sliding My Hand Into The Glove Of My Seventeen-year-old Hand. Through Magic, There Are The Iowa Fields Slipping By ... And There Is My Mother, Not Yet Born Into The Ziplock Baggie Of Ash My Sister Sent Me Years Ago With The Frank Message 'Mom 1/2', Written In Laundry Pen, Since No-one In Our Family Ever Stood On Ceremony.
