Elizabeth

Ken Greenhall
“If you were to go into your bedroom tonight – perhaps by candlelight – and sit quietly before the large mirror, you might see what I have seen. Sit patiently, looking neither at yourself nor at the glass.

I have never understood why so many people seem to be fascinated by animals—why they gaze at them, breed them, and even worship them. Perhaps the interest is simply an expression of guilt. Most of the people who were looking at the animals were at the same time digesting pieces of animal flesh."

    “Is there anyone home?”
    It was the voice of James, my father’s brother. James had strong, tanned legs. His waist was muscled, and I had never seen uncertainty in his eyes. He was my lover."
