i was baptized in water by my father and my mother
i do not remember but i know my head went under
i can taste the salt, feel it drying on my eyes
doused in holy water, hands reaching for the light
but i'm drawn to fire, continuous and holy
you are fire and you have taught me
through heat and through light
i exist beyond my body
Nothing has ever spoken to my feelings of the sacredness of queer intimacy and community and love and joy. Its beautiful and essential. femmesimulacrum
