you were one of the best female poets and I told the publishers, editors, “ Her, print her, she’s mad but she’s magic, there’s no lie in her fire.” I loved you like a man loves a woman he never touches, only writes to, keeps little photographs of. I would have loved you more if I had sat in a small room rolling a cigarette and listened to you piss in the bathroom, but that didn’t happen.

City of Darkness - Life In Kowloon City (Girard & Lambot, 1999)
you only need to produce a book like this about a place like that to attach a memory in the brain's heart of a person like me
