Royal Heart, Andrea Gibson

"I can't live here. In my body, I mean. I can't live in my body all the time, it feels too much. So if I ever feel far away know I am not gone. I am just underneath my grief, adjusting the dial on my radio faith so I can take this life with all of its love and all of its loss." - Royal Heart, Andrea Gibson

Roses are red / violets are transsexual / welcome to womanhood / now get to work honey

Roses are biological / you have the nicest skin / I can’t stop kissing you / let’s read more nondualistic queer theory

The Rest Here

Since Unfinished

Since Unfinished

BY RICHARD BLANCO

I’ve been writing this since
the summer my grandfather
taught me how to hold a blade
of grass between my thumbs
and make it whistle, since
I first learned to make green
from blue and yellow, turned
paper into snowflakes, believed
a seashell echoed the sea,
and the sea had no end.



The Rest Here

SONG OF MYSELF.

I CELEBRATE myself, and sing myself,

And what I assume you shall assume,

For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.

- First lil' chunk  of Walt Whitman's Song of Myself


Rest Here

Bloodstains

Bloodstains

Been in and out of love since I was 19
Opening my heart has left a bloodstain
And I don't know how to make a man stay
Maybe I've been putting my heart out in the wrong way
-- Wrabel
