i have lived
i have lived by this ocean since i was born
and id give all i have
back to the brackish water
i have swam
i have swam against this current naked and cold
and id drown in this mouth
just to swim for a moment longer
i just need a moment longer
i grew up where the river and the ocean like to argue
they'll sweep you up and next thing you know you're dying too
i've watched you drown in too many arms you thought wanted to hold you
i need to leave before i am surrounded too
supported by 4 fans who also own “the water i was born 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
