Sula

An excerpt from Sula by Toni Morrison

"With the exception of BoyBoy, those Peace women loved all men. It was manlove that Eva bequeathed to her daughters. Probably, people said, because there were no men in the house, no men to run it. But actually, that was not true. The Peace women simply loved maleness, for it's own sake."

Toni Morrison

Iced Sunshine

Little do we know what we are meant for.
The great, the menial, the averagely boring.
For we are spirits of another sort.
