Potato Leaf Curl

Famous quotes containing the words potato, leaf and/or curl:

Of soggy peat, the curt cuts of an edge
Through living roots awaken in my head.
But I’ve no spade to follow men like them.”

Blood on the leaf and blood at the root
Black bodies swingin’ in the southern breeze
Strange fruit hangin’ in the poplar trees.”

“An object among dreams, you sit here with your shoes off
And curl your legs up under you;”
