Famine by Gabriel Gadfly →
The roots starve.
It has not rained in days and days and all the lively shoots are drying up and dying in the brittle broken earth.
Such it is in the garden, so it is in the heart.

I’m normally private about these things, but this is something I feel I should say.
Today, the condom broke. I am female-bodied. There are serious consequences to this situation. There are so many things that could go wrong and I was glad every moment that they all went so right.

Cardinal. Rosefinch. A poem about red summer tanager, red summer wings, bright belly bullfinch.
Why I put cinnamon gum to mark some birds, some bird wings, I can’t recall, but some things aren’t...

Orange. If you have been told you cannot love your lovers, learn that you can love them anyway. Your body constantly heals itself: the heart is no...
