Prince Melon Bootleg

Famous quotes containing the words prince and/or melon:

    “Daddy?
    That’s another kind of prison.

    drunkenly bent over my bed,
    circling the abyss like a shark....”

    Words fly out of place
    and I, long into the desert,
    drink and drink
    and bow my head to that meadow
    the breast, the melon in it....”
