• Tell me the story, Pew. . . . It was a woman. You always say that. There's always a woman somewhere, child; a princess, a witch, a stepmother, a mermaid, a fairy godmother, or one as wicked as she is beautiful, or as beautiful as she is good. Is that the complete list? Then there is the woman you love. Who's she? That's another story.

• Two hundred miles from the surface of the earth there is no gravity. The laws of motion are suspended. You could turn somersaults slowly slowly, weight into weightlessness, nowhere to fall. As you lay on your back paddling in space you might notice your feet had fled your head. You are stretching slowly slowly, getting longer, your joints are slipping away from their usual places. There is no connection between your shoulder and your arm. You will break up bone by bone, fractured from who you are, drifting away now, the centre cannot hold.

  Jeanette Winterson

  Fall, Law, Two

• Cuando me fui de casa a los dieciséis años me compré una pequeña alfombra. Era mi mundo enrollable. En cualquier habitación, en cualquier lugar temporal que tuviera, desenrollaba la alfombra. Era un mapa de mí misma. Invisibles para los demás, pero guardados en la alfombra, estaban todos los lugares en los que había estado, durante unas semanas, durante unos meses. La primera noche en un lugar nuevo me gustaba tumbarme en la cama y mirar la alfombra para recordarme que tenía lo que necesitaba, aunque lo que tenía era muy poco. A veces hay que vivir en lugares precarios y temporales. Lugares inadecuados. Lugares equivocados. A veces el lugar seguro no te ayuda.

• ¿Quién te enseñó a escribir con sangre en mi espalda? ¿Quién te enseñó a usar tus manos como hierros de marcar? Has grabado tu nombre en mis hombros, me has marcado con tu marca. Las yemas de tus dedos se han convertido en bloques de impresión, grabas un mensaje en mi piel, grabas un significado en mi cuerpo. Tu código morse interfiere con los latidos de mi corazón. Tenía un corazón estable antes de conocerte, confiaba en él, había estado en servicio activo y se había hecho fuerte. Ahora alteras su ritmo con el tuyo, juegas sobre mí, tamborileándome tenso.
