Cold Short

Famous quotes containing the words cold and/or short:

easy to catch, dreamily

and unties our bone and is finished with the case,
and turns to the next customer, forgetting our face
or how we knelt at the yellow bulb with sighs
like moth wings for a short while in a small place.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
