Delalande Reflections Quotes & Sayings

Your love was writ in sand:
If he had fooled not me but you,
If you had stood where i stand,

The drug hit him like an express train, a white-hot column of light mounting his spine from the region of his prostate, illuminating the sutures of his skull with x-rays of short-circuited sexual energy. His teeth sang in their individual sockets, each one pitch-perfect and clear as ethanol.
