Conchology What I want is a beloved – to be beloved –…
““Conchology What I want is a beloved – to be beloved – someone who knows me the way the conch knows the sea, holding me in the rush of their own blood. The lovers I have had, however many or few, knew me only in whorls and whispers. I slipped my tongue into their ears and they sipped from the shell of me. None of them heard me. None of them listened””
