ODE TO A HOUSEWIFE.

To vow yourself to someone else is to open a wound. From it blood flows freely, life of you to them. We call it blood brothers. We call it the dying Christ. The Fisher King’s wound becomes him and will not heal. The vow of me to you and you to me is a red vulnerability on a grey shuttered world. We risk ourselves for each other, take the impossible step. Here is the knife that kills me in your hand. To prove it I let the blood myself. Monstrous, primitive, grand, divine, the one true extravagant gesture. The only thing I can claim to own is myself, and look, I shall give it to you, a ceremony of innocence made knowing in blood.
Jeanette Winterson, excerpt from Gut Symmetries
(via virgin-martyr)

Every movie should have a woman who’s absolutely batshit insane. Absolutely out of control. Bloodthirsty, even.
