A robber who steals a knife and cuts himself cannot cry out against the woman who kept it sharp.

Spinning Silver (2018)

A crowd of women around me doing the ocean of women’s work that never subsided and never changed and always swallowed whatever time you gave it and wanted more, another hungry body of water. I submerged into it like a ritual bath and let it close over my head gladly.
