wood and water
my father and my mother
breathing is getting harder
im floating, you're getting farther
i left when you were hurting
you couldn't talk and they were yelling
i still smell smoke when i am breathing
all i have now is ash, so i let it fill me
is that my house burning?
is this rebirth, or am i dying?
i can taste salt, my mother is crying
the fire is warm, the water is scalding
supported by 4 fans who also own “the fire that i died in”
Nothing has ever spoken to my feelings of the sacredness of queer intimacy and community and love and joy. Its beautiful and essential. femmesimulacrum
