queer girl coming of age in northern California.

queer girl coming of age in northern California feels like heaven, like reckless 21, like speeding down the San Mateo-Hayward bridge going straight as an arrow on the glassy ocean water for miles and miles, like a reggaeton heartbeat on the radio as the sunset puts everything in soft filter and the hills go all soft and blue to the horizon and i glimpse myself in the rearview and goddamnit i'm stunning! i'm stunning! i'm glorious even with my eyeliner crooked and my choppy hair coming undone but that doesn't matter at all because i'm finally happy, so fucking happy that it feels like my soul is breaking open and spilling all the pi

“Why do you find this so strange?” he inquired, inquisitively looking at her. “I just never thought I’d have anything in common with…someone like you,” she hesitated, looking up into his eyes comprising slanted pupils and surrounded by fur. He gave her a warm smile. “Yes, that…” he began, noting the visible differences to her nearly hairless form. “Your species focuses too much on physical similarities,” he mused, the smile not leaving his face. She concurred with a quick chuckle, reaching one arm across herself to grasp onto her other upper arm while her e

Worth the Pain

“Hold still,” the old woman said, holding Maxim's wrist out in front of her. She grasped an ink-dipped needle in her other hand. “Sure you don't need more brandy, son? I never seen someone look so nervous.” “I'm fine,” Maxim said, trying to reassure himself. He stroked the owl perched on his knee. “I need to have this tattoo for an enchantment.” “A wizard, huh?” “In training,” Maxim admitted. “I'll try to do it as quickly as I can,” the woman promised as she got to work. The needle and ink burned with a fire that Maxim had never known. He scrunched his ey

We Let the Rain Speak Instead

“Come on!” I shout, running up the mossy hill. The trees around us shake as the thunder reverberates throughout the woods. Light tries to peak through the cloudy sky. I glance down with a smile at Mark running up behind me. The ground is wet and I take my next step, I can feel the dirt slipping out from under me. I start falling backwards to an abrupt stop when Mark softly catches me. “Careful,” he says, grinning. I kiss his cheek and grab onto his hand. He starts up the hill before me and pulls me up after him. The rain starts when we reach the top of the hill. “Over here,” I show him over to a flat rock

She has red hair when I think of her or at least I saw red as she ran from me like wine wasted down the sink. So these days I keep an empty kitchen. In the absence of drink I eat no bread and need no knife to cut it, and after losing her I’d half a mind to send my body to the state - and being the last sharp thing I had, I surrendered her like a paperclip unbent thinking she and my shoelaces should be small enough to give.

Wulf and Watcher

A translation of the Old English poem 'Wulf and Eadwacer' Like ointment to a wound, what salvation would it be To sink their teeth into his flesh to satisfy their greed. Such is my kin’s desire, if he invades their company. We are not the same. My Wulf dwells on an island shut, another prisons me. A stronghold forged by natures craft, bound by the marshes’ sea, ruled by men of cruel mien, with heinous fantasies, for they wish to stain their blades to satisfy their greed. We are different. My thoughts stray after Wulfe’s trail, When wind and water hide my wail, When taken by the warrior’s arms, My body’s b

please move slowly, she’s still wounded. we’ve all been here before, guarding against ghosts at the door while the demons, they rail inside you making you fear what’s before- and it got the best of us, winter did. all cold claws and biting wind full of desolation and emptiness {& death} the plants will revive come spring, stretch themselves up towards the sky- but will you?

once a boy we all claimed to know parked his car at the library and walked clean off the interstate overpass and into rush hour traffic. when the paramedics arrived all that was left was salt. or so the poets told us. the idea of a stopped i95 is not at all unusual but some kind of miracle nonetheless. the fact is that a boy fell from a high place like a cloud or prayer and ended up another wet thing on the steaming concrete. groundwater. griefpuddle. stained glass. i mean to say something of refraction. drainage. how we all leave and are still left behind.
